English term or phrase: in good legal standing
In a Registered Agent's Certificate:

"The Company is IN GOOD LEGAL STANDING in the country."

I'm not sure whether this is "cumple todas las formalidades legales" or "goza de buena reputación", or both.

What do you think?

(empresa) constituida legalmente y autorizada para el ejercicio de sus actividades comerciales


Explanation:
Se refiere al "Certificate of Good Standing" de una empresa...

Al estar legalmente constituida e inscrita en el Registro Mercantil y cumplir con los requisitos vigentes del país en que está ubicada, queda autorizada a operar y desarrollar sus actividades comerciales.

See,

"Authorized to do business
A Certificate of Good Standing, sometimes called a Certificate of Existence or Certificate of Authorization, is a state-issued document used to demonstrate that a corporation or limited liability company (LLC) exists or is authorized to do business in the state and has complied with all state-required formalities.

Why it’s important
A Certificate of Good Standing is typically required when a company wishes to register to transact business in another state (a process called foreign qualification) and may also be required before a company can enter certain contracts or relationships. The Certificate of Good Standing sets forth:

Your company’s name
That your company is incorporated and authorized to do business in that state
That all fees, taxes and/or any applicable penalties owed the state have been paid
That the company’s most recent annual report has been filed
That Articles of Dissolution have not been filed"
