Pennsylvania / Pennsylvania has always issued subsistence certificates (versus good standings), but here is our relatively new statute saying that:
15 Pa.C.S.A. § 145
§ 145. Subsistence certificate
(a) General rule.--On request of a person, the department shall issue:
(1) a subsistence certificate for a domestic filing entity or domestic limited liability partnership; or
(2) a certificate of registration for a registered foreign association.
(b) Contents of certificate.--A certificate under subsection (a) must state:
(1) the name of the domestic filing entity or domestic limited liability partnership or the name under which the registered foreign association is registered in this Commonwealth;
(2) in the case of a domestic filing entity or domestic limited liability partnership, that the entity is currently subsisting on the records of the department; and
(3) in the case of a registered foreign association, that it is registered to do business in this Commonwealth.
(c) Effect of certificate.--Subject to any qualification stated in the certificate, a certificate issued by the department under subsection (a) may be relied on as conclusive evidence of the facts stated in the certificate.
