Every country has its own collecting body, its own filing calendar and its own way of certifying that a company is up to date. In United States, these elements form part of the file of every firm listed by the network.
The social security clearance certificate is the document that sums everything up: at a given moment it states whether the company has filed and paid. It is also the one that expires soonest, and the first the network asks its partners to renew. The table of documents below indicates which body issues it in United States and under which wording to apply for it.
No professional title exists here, which is exactly what makes selection demanding. A US firm states its state of incorporation and produces the certificate of good standing issued by the relevant Secretary of State, confirmation of its Employer Identification Number, and above all evidence of the status under which it files on behalf of clients. A professional liability certificate completes the file, together with fidelity cover against misappropriation where the firm handles client payroll funds. Each item should be dated and verifiable at source.
