What is a Certificate of Renewal and Revival?

When is Renewal and Revival Needed?

Failing to maintain a Registered Agent or pay annual franchise tax and file annual reports may result in your company “going void", losing its Good Standing status. If this happens, your company may lose its name, its right to conduct business, and it may also have its corporate charter canceled.

Why is Good Standing Important?

Being in Good Standing means that a company is compliant with the state and has payed all necessary taxes and penalties. If a company is not in Good Standing, it may be unable to perform certain business functions. These include opening a business bank account, getting a loan, and buying property.

How to Revive a Company?

Should this happen to your company and you want to continue doing business, you can file a Delaware Certificate of Renewal and Revival. This filing can reinstate your corporation, LLC, LP, or LLP and restore its Good Standing status.
