What verification can I use for SAM.gov to prove my municipality is a valid entity?

SAM.gov provides a list of Entity Validation Documentation Requirements. Most municipalities lack these documents.

The Vermont State Archives & Records Apostilles/Authentications office can assist with SAM.gov entity verifications. They will send a letter to SAM.gov with a copy of the municipality's charter. This method has been accepted by SAM.gov.

For assistance, call the Apostilles/Authentications office at 802-828-3709 or email them at sos.statutoryfilings@vermont.gov with your request.
