On the other end of the spectrum, certificates of good standing are available on-line from the Colorado Secretary of State's website for free - and it takes less than ten minutes of your time.

>> 
>> Maryland charged $40.00.  I went onto the State's
>> website, charged the $40.00 on my credit card, and
>> downloaded the CofGS in pdf format.  I then emailed a
>> copy to all concerned.  Total cost:  $40.00, plus a
>> nominal amount of time.
>> 
>> Pennsylvania charged $40.00.  I had to send a letter to
>> a service bureau in PA, draw and mail a check to the
>> service bureau for their services (about $20.00), pay for
>> FedEx back to me (another $15.00), scan the
>> document, email the pdf version thus obtained to all
>> concerned, and then mail the original to lender's
>> counsel.  Total cost:  $75.00, plus a good deal of time
>> spent in spinning wheels (just think only of the pain of
>> getting the check cut in any law firm).
>> 
>> If you needed to be convinced of the efficiencies of
>> e-commerce (and I doubt that anyone on this list does),
>> just consider the facts I just related.
