7/31/2019 – State officials released a warning of fraudulent mail being sent out to CT businesses. The enveleope is marked with “IMPORTANT – OPEN IMMEDIATELY” and “BUSINESS MAIL – TIME SENSITIVE.” The letter is from a company called “CT Certificate Service” and they request a payment of $112.50 to receive a copy of the “Connecticut Certificate of Existence” form. Should you receive this letter, you can toss it!
A certificate of existence form is not required in the state of Connecticut. However, the form can be requested online from the Secretary of the State.
