I’ve been dealing with the division of corporations for the better part of a year and a half and they have no regard for their clientele. About 6 months into me bringing papers in for apostilles, they made up a rule that I specifically would have to wait a day to pick up the papers I brought in with me, despite me getting the apostille the same day up until this point. This rule that they created is not listed anywhere on their website and I have checked multiple times to try and reference it but it simply does not exist. I have tried talking to the supervisor on multiple occasions and she has been nothing but abrasive with me for no good reason other than me being there. I have had other employees come up to me individually and explain that the people in the office do not like me and would be treating me as such simply because they felt like I was in the office too often. The most recent incident was today where I explained to them that I just had my wisdom teeth removed and I should not be driving per doctors orders and the supervisor could not have cared less and made me wait the day to pick up my documents anyways. I feel like this is discrimination because I can see the difference in the way they treat me versus other clients and will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau as well.

The personnel lacked professional attire and attitude. The woman at the front desk was eating a bag of chips when I enter and seemed disturbed that I was asking questions. After that, the experience was much better even though the other women who worked there didn't look professional either.

ty ban | Jun 9, 2022

I'm not sure. I went to there to get my birth certificate (copy/short form) authenticated And my Certificate of live birth apostilled secured party creditor process. But for the exemption certificate I will find out and let you know.

Have made several attempts to file the annual report online, but will not allow me to proceed to the final review section even after I have verified the registered address. Is there a problem with the e-file or what can be done to complete it

It would be best to go in person. And be warned, they're Not a friendly bunch.

Does your staff EVER answer a phone? Does your staff EVER reply to an email? I filed FEB 9, you charged $160, your website says your up to FEB 22 - why haven't I received ANYTHING? I have not received any confirmation or Articles of Incorporation.

As a secretary in a corporation, can I sign documents in behalf of the owner, is there an specific authorization form for the owner to authorize me to sign?

Madalen Heringer | Nov 6, 2021

No, I do not believe you can sign unless you are given special consideration by the company. I would suggest reviewing "who can authorize" in the states statutory requirements.

The first thing you need to do is determine what structure you want for your club. It could be an LLC or a non-profit, etc. After you do that, you can call the Division of Corporations to start a new filing.

My husband and I had an S corp. We have closed the corporation. We just received a check made out to the corporate name. How are we to cash it?

Check with the issuing bank or business. You may need a copy of the articles proving that you were the principle officer's of the company to be able to cash it. Or the issuer may be able to replace the check with your name but again you will probably have to provide proof
