State Resources
All 50 states will recognize corporation sole, however if your corporation sole is being used to provide some type of public service in a state other than Nevada, then it may be necessary for the corporation sole to receive a Certificate of Authority to operate within the state that you are in. Should this be the case, we have provided a resource area for you. Just click on the state that you need the filing forms, and we have provided a link to their site for the forms you will need to receive a Certificate of Authority.
Please note: If you are only using your Nevada corporation sole to hold or own property, automobiles, land, or have bank accounts, it is Not Necessary for you to receive a Certificate of Authority in the state you are in because your corporation sole is only operating in passive business and is not considered as conducting business within the state. This is true in all 50 United States.

State Laws from 17 States concerning Non-Profit Status and Corporation Sole
Many states in the United States recognize corporation sole in two significant ways. In the first instance, states acknowledge the office as prior existing, provided the articles of incorporation are drafted so as to provide the pre-article history of the office. In the second instance, states recognize a newly created corporation sole by the simple filing of articles of incorporation. In this latter instance, the articles do not reference any pre-incorporation history of the office, as indeed none exists.
In statutory form encompassing both types of corporations sole, seventeen states in the United States of America recognize the corporation sole. They are:
