Beware Bogus Forms/Billing
Recently, several corporations registered with the Corporations Division of the Office of the Secretary of State received a letter from Georgia Corporate Compliance, a private company offering to complete corporation meeting minutes on behalf of registered corporations. Although these forms contained a disclaimer stating that the company was not affiliated or endorsed by any government agency, many customers were understandably confused by the official looking documents.
The forms provided by Georgia Corporate Compliance are not required by the Office of the Secretary of State and will not affect your corporate filing positively or negatively. There is no need for a corporation to use Georgia Corporate Compliance or any other business offering similar services for any reason unless the corporation chooses to do so. The Office of the Secretary of State does not require the use of any businesses offering services like those apparently offered by Georgia Corporate Compliance.
It is important to remember that any official statement or request from the Office of the Secretary of State will clearly indicate its origin by displaying the State Seal and the name of Secretary of State Karen Handel.
If corporate customers have any other questions, please call the Georgia Secretary of States Corporations Division Call Center at 404-656-2817.
