- Glen Ridge, NJ, USA • Jul 06, 2026

A newly registered New Jersey business received an unsolicited letter by U.S. mail titled "2026 – New Jersey Certificate of Good Standing." It was made to look like an official state notice — marked "TIME SENSITIVE" and "RESPONSE REQUESTED," displaying the business's state file number and a notice date — and demanded $102.25 for a Certificate of Good Standing. That certificate is available directly from the NJ Division of Revenue for far less. In fine print the letter admits it is "a private document preparation service" and that certificates "may also be obtained directly from the Secretary of State." Payment was requested by mail to a Jersey City, NJ address. The recipient did not pay. This appears to be part of a broader pattern of mailings targeting newly registered businesses.

- Longmont, CO, USA • Jun 27, 2026

It demands payment either for a Certificate of Good Standing (free in Colorado and automatically available with a new business) or for required federal wage posters for place of business ($90).

I got a letter in the mail from "Business Document Center" and said if I sent them $87.25 then I will get a Pennsylvania Certificate of Good Standing for my business. I looked up the phone number and found more scams like this type. Do not send them any money as people have been getting scammed and did not receive anything.

Our non-profit organization recently filed with the Massachusetts Secretary of State to be recognized as a non-profit entity in the state. We received two mailings from the Business Document Center (phone: (855) 203-5959) congratulating us on filing with the Secretary of State, and telling us to send them $87.25 to receive our "official Massachusetts Certificate of good standing." A very small line at the bottom of the document stats that "Business Document Center is a private document preparation service. Certificates may also be obtained directly from the Secretary of State." We then checked the Secretary of State's website regarding this issue and learned that certificates of good standing are always issued free of charge.

After registering a business in CT, I received a very official looking bill in the mail from "Business Document Center" (phone: (855) 203-5959) offering to obtain a "Connecticut Certificate of Good Standing." which "may be required for legitimate business purposes, such as opening a business bank account." In very tiny print at the bottom it says "Business Document Center is a private document preparation service. Certificates may also be obtained directly from the Secretary of the State."
