What Is a Certificate of Formation?
A Certificate of Formation (also known as an LLC Formation Certificate) is issued by the Secretary of State to officially recognize a company’s establishment in the United States. It includes key business information such as:
-
Company name and business type
-
Date and state of registration
-
Registered agent and official address
-
Ownership or management structure
-
Legal status of the entity
To be recognized by Kuwaiti government agencies or business partners, this certificate must undergo a multi-step legalization process involving U.S. notarization, state certification, federal authentication, and final approval from the Embassy of Kuwait in Washington, D.C.
