The noun 'stato' is masculine singular and takes the article 'lo' because it starts with a consonant cluster 'st-'.

Cultural Tip
In Italian the level of formality matters. 'Per te' is informal; in a formal customer‑service setting you would say 'per Lei'. Also, while 'controllare' is perfectly acceptable, many Italians prefer the slightly more formal 'verificare' when dealing with official documents or technical issues.
