401K and Profit Sharing Accounts

I've just been informed by our plan administrator that before any new 401k and/or Profit Sharing accounts can be opened, I have to obtain a "certificate of good standing" from the Secretary of State. This is part of the Patriot Act . . . any one have experience with this?
Thank You!
