NOTICE: This form may be used to accomplish a filing required or permitted by statute to be made with the department. Information requested may be used for secondary purposes. This document can be made available in alternate formats upon request to qualifying individuals with disabilities. This application is appropriate for use by a foreign, for-profit stock corporation or cooperative association. Foreign nonstock corporations, including nonprofit corporations, apply on Form 121 (Foreign Nonstock Corporation ­ Certificate of Authority Application). 1.

2 & 3. Enter the name of the state or country under whose laws the corporation is organized, and the date of incorporation. 4. Indicated whether the corporation has perpetual existence, or is organized for a term of years. If organized for a term of years, enter the duration of that term. 5 & 6. Enter the name of the corporation's registered agent and registered office in Wisconsin. The address of the registered office must describe its physical location, i.e., street name, number, city (in Wisconsin) and ZIP code. Failure to continuously maintain an agent and office may set grounds for revocation of the corporation's certificate of authority. Annual report forms, notices and other official communications are directed to the corporation's registered agent, so it is important to keep this information current. Request Form 13 to make a change of registered agent or registered office. 7. Enter the address of the corporation's principal office, inside or outside Wisconsin, where its principle executive offices are located. 8. Indicate if the corporation has, or has not, transacted business in Wisconsin without holding a certificate of authority. If the response is "Yes," complete Supplemental Form 21S. 9 & 10. Provide the name and address of each of the corporation's officers and directors. If the corporation has no directors, indicate that in item 10. 11. Provide complete information on the number and type of capital shares the corporation is authorized to issue, and the number and type of such shares that are issued. 12. For items A.(1) thru A.(6), provide figures estimating the first year's activity and compute the percentage of the corporation's capital to be represented in Wisconsin. NOTE: The governing statute does not define "gross business" or "Wisconsin business." If the figures for "gross business" (item 12(A) 1) equate to gross sales by the corporation worldwide, then gross sales in Wisconsin would be the appropriate criteria in computing "Wisconsin business" (item 12 (A) 4). Similarly for "Total Assets" and "Wisconsin Assets." If "Total Assets" are stated at their depreciated value, "Wisconsin Assets" would also be stated at their depreciated value. So long as criteria are consistently applied, an unwarranted distortion may be avoided. 13 & 14. Use these items to compute the filing fee based on the corporation's capital to be represented in Wisconsin. 15. Determine the FILING FEE from the appropriate section in item 15 and remit the fee by check payable to "Department of Financial Institutions." If the computation is made using Supplemental Form 21S, the result will include the basic qualification fee. 16. The application is to be executed by an officer of the corporation. Print or type the name and title of the officer signing the application and the date it was signed. Every application must be accompanied by a current CERTIFICATE OF STATUS (variously called "certificate of existence" or "certificate of good standing"), issued by the Secretary of State (or other official having custody of corporate records) under whose laws it is incorporated, attesting to the existence and status of the corporation. The certificate must be issued not more than 60 days prior to the delivery of this application.
