A New York certificate of good standing is called a "certificate under seal". The New York Department of State issues a certificate under seal to show that a business entity is registered with the state and is in "good standing". If your company was incorporated/organized in the State of New York and is conducting or plans to conduct business overseas, this document will be required by foreign authorities, to prove that your company has valid legal existence.
