Ordering Paper Documents
Because of difficulties in meeting the needs of customers requesting information from the Utah Division of Corporation's repository, the Division is implementing new procedures for those requesting Division documents.
All requests for certified copies, Certificates of Existence, copies of records, or archive searches must be made in writing by mail, fax, or in person. Phone requests will not be accepted.
The Division will accept requests for corporate archive searches, Certificates of Existence, certified copies and copies of records by mail at: 160 East 300 South, Box 146705, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114-6705; via fax at: (801) 530-6438; or in person at the Division offices at: 160 East 300 South, 2nd Floor, Salt Lake City. Generally, requests for information from the Division will take 3-10 working days to process and deliver. An expedite service is available for an additional $75 per document for a 1-2 business day process time.
Depending on the type of information requested there is a fee ranging from a small charge for copies, to a $12.00 fee for Certified copies and Certificates of Existence.
