NOTES ON FORM FOR

CERTIFICATE OF EXISTENCE

General

This form of certificate assumes that the company is in full compliance and not in the process of dissolving or terminating. Otherwise, Item #’s 3, 4, 5 and 6 may need to be changed if they are not true. See Section 18-5-208.

The Certificate should still be issued as long as #’s 2 and 7 are true. If # 2 or 7 are not true, then the Certificate of Existence should not be issued.

Item # 2: Fill in with the date that the Secretary filed the company’s Certificate of Organization.

Item # 3: Note that fees, taxes, etc. only include ones that are supposed to be paid to the Secretary. Under current law, this would only include filing fees (and annual report fee of $25) under the Act.

Item #4: This is a valid statement even if the Company has not yet had to file an annual report. Annual reports are due by April 1 of each year following formation. If the Company has not filed an annual report by April 1, this would be changed to “has not been filed.” See Section 18-5-208(c).

Item #5. Administrative Dissolution by the Secretary is governed by Section 18-5-705 (failure to file annual report or pay fees with 60 days after due date). Note that there is a 60-day notice process before the “declaration of dissolution” is issued, and that reinstatement and appeal process is provided in Sections 706 and 707.

Item #6. A company that has dissolved (see Section 18-5-701) may file a “Statement of Dissolution” under Section 18-5-702(b)(2)(A). A dissolved company still exists, but its only activity is to “wind up” its business affairs (e.g., pay debts and distribute remaining assets to members per the operating agreement – his also applies to administratively dissolved companies per Section 18-5-705(d).

Item #7. After a dissolved company is “wound up,” a Statement of Termination may be filed under Section 18-5-701(b)(2)(F).

Other Possible Additions: The Certificate of Existence may also include:

“(8) other facts of record in the office of the Tribal Secretary which are specified by the person requesting the certificate.”

This would refer to other documents on file with the Tribal Secretary, and would have to be custom-written depending on what is requested.

If Using Tribal Seal:

If the Office of the Secretary has a Tribal Seal, and you would like it more formal, the last paragraph could be changed to:

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the Seal of the Great Crow Nation at Crow Agency, Montana on this _4th _ day of _September___, 2014.

FEE FOR ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATE OF EXISTENCE

1) For a standard Certificate of Existence with the information in Items 1-7 shown on the form: $_100.00_________ (Money order only)

2) For a Certificate of Existence that also includes “other facts of record” as described in “other possible additions” above (depending on what is requested): $__________
