Hawaii Certificate of Good Standing FAQs
  • What is a Certificate of Good Standing (COGS) in Hawaii?

    A Hawaii Certificate of Good Standing (COGS) confirms that a business entity is registered with the State of Hawaii and has complied with state requirements, such as filing an annual report and paying franchise taxes.

    Other names for this document include “certificate of status”, “certificate of existence”, and “certificate of authorization”. The Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) is responsible for issuing the Certificate of Good Standing in the state.

  • Why is “good standing” important for your business?
    Being in good standing allows a corporation, LLC, or other statutory entity in Hawaii to maintain the rights and privileges of doing business as that statutory entity. Good standing certificates are required when expanding to other states and may be required for financing, business transactions, and licensing. The consequences of losing good standing can include fines, the inability to file a lawsuit, the inability to do business in other states, and the administrative dissolution of your business.
  • When do you need a Hawaii Certificate of Good Standing?
    A Hawaii Certificate of Good Standing is usually required when your business expands to another state (otherwise known as a foreign qualification) and needs to register in that state as a foreign business entity. Banks, lenders, investors, and vendors may request a Certificate of Good Standing before doing business with a company. You may also need a Certificate of Good Standing for licensure or for other business transactions, such as a merger or acquisition.
