Certificate of Incumbency
Certifies current officers, directors, and their authority to bind a U.S. corporation for third-party reliance in corporate transactions.
Prerequisites
Gather before drafting:
- Formation documents — articles/certificate confirming exact legal entity name with designator (Inc., Corp., Ltd., LLC)
- Bylaws or operating agreement — current, with amendments noted (becomes Exhibit A)
- Board resolutions or written consents — adoption dates; confirm notice, quorum, and voting thresholds
- Officer/director roster — full legal names, exact titles, election/appointment dates
- Third-party requirements — bank checklists, prescribed forms, specific certifications (FinCEN, TIN, sanctions)
- Transaction description — purpose, named recipient, single vs. multi-closing

- Is authorized to execute this certificate
- Corporation is validly existing and in good standing under [State] law as of certificate date

[CORPORATION] authorizes [THIRD PARTY] to rely fully upon all certifications and representations in this Certificate in connection with [TRANSACTION DESCRIPTION].
Execution Block
IN WITNESS WHEREOF block with: signature line, printed name, title (Secretary / Assistant Secretary), corporation name, corporate seal. Add notarial certificate if required; note apostille requirements for international use.

| Exhibit | Document | |---------|---------| | A | Bylaws / Operating Agreement (with all amendments) | | B | Board Resolutions / Written Consents | | C+ | Additional attachments in order referenced |
Each exhibit: labeled cover page referencing this Certificate; Secretary signs or initials each page or includes incorporation-by-reference statement.
Critical Checks
- Exact legal name — any variance from articles may cause rejection; verify corporate designator spelling
- Personal liability — certifying officer faces liability for material misstatements; corporation estopped from denying certified authority
- Resolution validity — confirm proper notice (or waiver), quorum, and voting thresholds before certifying
- Disclose all limitations — dollar caps, dual-signature rules, committee prerequisites; omitting creates apparent-authority risk
- Cross-reference consistency — entity name, titles, and authorized actions must match across all closing deliverables
- Bank add-ons — financial institutions may require FinCEN beneficial ownership, TIN, absence-of-bankruptcy, or sanctions/AML language
- Multi-closing — for revolving facilities or staged closings, address notice-of-change and re-certification obligations
- Jurisdiction — U.S. state corporate law governs; notice, quorum, and voting rules vary by state — verify against incorporating state's statute [VERIFY]
