Certificate of Status for a Northwest Territories Company

Information Contained on a Northwest Territories Certificate of Status

The Certificate of Status for an N.W.T. company will provide the accurate current name of the company, the corporate number issued by the N.W.T. government for the company, and the status of the company, i.e., whether it is still active and in compliance with its filings.

N.W.T. companies are required to file federal tax returns annually. If these returns are not filed for a number of years, the federal government may dissolve the company. If your address is current on file, you will be provided with a warning from The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) stating that tax returns are due. You would not be able to obtain a favourable Certificate of Status for a company that has been dissolved.

Certificates of Status are sometimes required by banks, law firms, individuals on the other side of a corporate deal, whereby you may be selling your company, buying property, registering a vehicle, renewing a domain name, etc. Any person or company that your N.W.T. company is dealing with may ask you to provide them with a Certificate of Status to ensure your company is in good standing with the N.W.T. government.

A certificate of status for a N.W.T. company will take 24 to 48 business hours to provide. It will be emailed as a PDF.
