Georgia Secretary of State’s annual registration season for calendar year 2020 is from January 1, 2020 to April 1, 2020. Your annual registration must be postmarked by April 1, 2020. If your annual registration and payment are not postmarked by the April 1st deadline, you will be assessed a $25.00 late filing penalty fee and/or your entity may be administratively dissolved or revoked by the Secretary of State.

To keep your entity in “Good Standing” with the Office of Secretary of State, we encourage you to file your annual registration online with a credit card at https://ecorp.sos.ga.gov, as soon as possible. The Corporations Division accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and ATM/Debit Cards with the Visa or MasterCard logo for online filings only.

Use our intuitive website that allows you to file your annual registration from the One Click Annual Registration or the Annual Registration portions of the website.

The One Click Annual Registration button allows you to pay the annual registration quickly without a login if there are no changes required to the entity. (You must be current on all annual registration fees.)
 

The Annual Registration button allows you to file an annual registration with or without making changes after logging into eCorp.sos.ga.gov.  If you need to make changes to the entity, then you must login. A logged in filer will be able to review all filings and receipts in the filer’s dashboard, and the annual registration and receipt will also be emailed to the filer.
 
The Bulk One Click Annual Registration option allows logged in customers to process up to 100 annual registrations without any changes at one time with one credit card payment.
 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NOTIFICATON MAY BE SENT TO MORE THAN ONE EMAIL ADDRESS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTITY; PLEASE CHECK WITH ALL PARTIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTITY TO AVOID MULTIPLE FILINGS.  ANNUAL REGISTRATION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
 

The annual registration fees are: $50 for profit corporations, LLCs, and LPs; $30 for nonprofit corporations; and $25 for foreign LLPs. If the amount listed for your entity is more than the stated fees, then the total reflects amount(s) due from previous year(s) and any applicable late fee(s) and/or service charge if filing in paper format.  

Annual registrations not processed online may be filed by mail and require a printed annual registration form and payment with a check, certified bank check or money order. A paper form may be printed from our website at https://ecorp.sos.ga.gov. There is an additional $10 service charge if an annual registration filing is submitted in paper format. Please mail your completed annual registration form and payment to the following address: Office of Secretary of State, Annual Registration Filings, 2 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr.,  313 West Tower, Atlanta, GA 30334. All checks must be pre-printed with a complete address in order to be accepted by our office for processing. Absolutely no counter or starter checks will be accepted. We cannot accept cash for payment. Failure to adhere to these guidelines will delay or possibly result in the rejection of your filing. Checks that are dishonored by your bank are subject to a $30.00 NSF charge. Failure to honor your payment could result in a civil suit filed against you and/or your entity may be administratively dissolved or revoked by the Secretary of State. [See. O.C.G.A. §13-6-15 and Title 14, respectively.]

Any person authorized by the entity to do so may sign and file an annual registration (including online filing). Please be advised that a person who signs a document or submits an electronic filing he or she knows is false in any material respect with the intent that the document be delivered to the Secretary of State for filing shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished to the highest degree permissible by law.
