You can go to your state's "Secratary of State" website and check them out.  Also you can check with the Better Business Bureau and see if they have a record there.  What kind of business are you trying to check out and for what purpose?

"To take just one example, ISO standards for such seemingly humble items as bolts, nuts, screws, pins and rivets literally help stop much in the world around us from falling apart - but you're not likely to come across references to them in the business and economic press, nor see companies proudly advertising that they implement them."  \n\nTry the link below and take "The Magical Demystifying Tour of ISO 9000 "

yes.a political party or a government can go for ISO accredation.but there is hardly any political party or the government that can get certification.no government had 100% efficiency.

See if the name of the business has a website.  If it does, go to Network Solutions WhoIs, (linked below) and enter the domain name.  You'll see who registered and their contact information.\n\nEven if they don't have a website, chances are they registered the companies name for future development of a website.  Try entering the company name in the WhoIs field and see what it returns.  For example, AAACompany.com, AcmeProducts.com, etc.

You can do several things:\n\nGo to http:www.internic.com to do a WHOIS check.  Find out where the domain is registered, and see if contact information provided is complete and accurate.   You can use Yahoo maps or google earth to verify addresses.\n\nDo an internet search of the company name on the web to see if anyone has posted any comments, good or bad, about the company.\n\nIf company is in the US you can check with the better business bureau at www.bbb.org

There are several ways to help you find out if the business is real or fake:\n\n1. For US businesses, you can check their business credit report at Dun and Bradstreet http://www.dnb.com/us/ , or a cheaper alternative is Experian Business http://www.experian.com/business/bcr.html1. \n\n2. Check with Mapquest the accuracy of the address. It can be as simple as this, but one website that advertised with us looks incredibly professional but the address does not exist. They paid us with stolen credit card. They are BBB member but we could not file a complaint because BBB says that the address does not exist (how they became a BBB member is a mystery).\n\n3. BBB member - but note that BBB is a non profit organization, not government agency that requires every organization to register. See my #1 example of how being a BBB member is not a guarantee of the legitimacy of a website.\n\n4. Check the EIN number using databases such as freeerisa.com http://www.freeerisa.com (they allow you up to 3 free searches) or http://www.knowx.com\n\n5. Check if they have any address or phone number located in their website. Contact the phone number. If you can't get hold of anyone and you tried to call at different times, you can assume that something is not right\n\n6. Check how recent the domain of the website was registered. The older the domain the more assurance you can get that this is the real deal. Scammers typically set up a new domain, create a website, scam other people, then close up the site immediately. Note though that many owners are opting for private domain registration so you cannot see the whois details in terms of contact name and address.\n\n7. Search the web using the company name as your keyword. If you can find any derogatory or complaints in forum or blogs or websites, then that can be a red flag for you. Check especially websites such as RipOffReport http://www.ripoffreport.com to find out if others have complained about the business\n\nOne rule of thumb to follow: if they are offering you a deal too good to be true, it probably is.

Do your homework before doing business in a particular country.  Its not enough to check to see if they have laws in place covering "proprietary", you need to see if they are really enforced.\n\nIn the event that you are going ahead and do business in a country outside of your own, then ensure that you comply with all the laws regarding the appropriate registration of the proprietary that you are concern about.

You may be able to look up the certification at the Florida government website (listed in source).  Some states will keep certification on file and some do not.  A document will not be 'recorded' unless requested by some one.  Odds are a certification of this type is not normally recorded.
