Extra value for your business
Get your Resale Certificates for your suppliers — instantly.
Once you have a Seller's Permit, you may be able to give resale certificates to suppliers when purchasing qualifying inventory for resale.
Requirements and form names vary by state.
Good to know
What is a Resale Certificate?
A resale certificate is generally used when you purchase products from a supplier for resale. Instead of paying sales tax on a qualifying wholesale purchase, you provide the appropriate resale or exemption certificate to the supplier.
Requirements vary by state, and some states use different forms or terminology. Your Seller's Permit or sales tax registration is often part of the process.
Without Resale Certificates
- You may pay sales tax on qualifying wholesale purchases
- You may need to complete supplier forms manually
- Different suppliers may require different documentation
- Higher purchase costs can reduce your margins
With EfilePermit Resale Certificates
- Create ready-to-use resale certificates quickly
- Pre-filled with your business information
- Uses your Seller's Permit or sales tax registration information
- Print or download certificates for suppliers
- Reuse your business information instead of starting over
- Included with your EfilePermit account where available
EfilePermit feature
Ready-to-Use Resale Certificates from Your Account

The Risk of Waiting
Selling without a permit isn't a gray area.
States actively audit unregistered sellers — especially e-commerce. Here's what's at stake every week you wait.
Up to 25%
Penalties for unfiled sales tax
Most states stack a failure-to-file penalty on top of the tax owed. Some add 25% on day one — plus interest that compounds monthly.
1–4 weeks
Lost selling time, doing it yourself
State portals are confusing, often reject applications, and offer no support. Every week without a permit is revenue you can't legally collect.
Personal liability
Owners on the hook personally
Sales tax is held in trust for the state. If unpaid, most states can pursue you — the owner — personally, even if your business is an LLC.
EfilePermit makes you compliant in 24–48 hours. One flat fee. No portals, no rejections, no penalty risk. We've filed for 12,000+ businesses without a single missed deadline.

Reviews
Loved by business owners everywhere.
“I had no idea my state called it a 'Seller's Permit.' EfilePermit handled everything. Filed next day, in my inbox the morning after.”
Maria Torres
“Tried the Ohio business gateway myself. Gave up after an hour. Paid that evening, had my Vendor's License the next morning. Worth every penny.”
Derrick Howard
“We needed a permit in California after our DTC site took off. Quick, painless, no surprises. Felt like the easiest thing we've done all quarter.”

Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Technically, yes — you can register yourself for free. What you're paying us for is accuracy, speed, and certainty. We know exactly which form applies, which fields matter, and how to avoid rejections.
Each state writes its own tax laws and invented its own name. California: "Seller's Permit." Ohio: "Vendor's License." New York: "Certificate of Authority." They all do the same thing.
If you have nexus — physical or economic — yes. After South Dakota v. Wayfair (2018), economic nexus can trigger registration even without a physical presence.
We file within 24–48 business hours. State processing varies — some states issue immediately, others take 1–4 weeks. We'll tell you the timeline upfront.
A seller's permit (state-issued) authorizes you to collect sales tax. A resale certificate is what you give your suppliers to buy tax-free for resale.
Rare, but if it happens on our end, we refile at no additional charge. Our 30-day guarantee covers you.
Yes. Our intake form walks you through it. Still unsure? Email us — a real person responds within one business day.
