The Corporations Division accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and ATM/Debit Cards with the Visa or MasterCard logo for online filings only.

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, LLC, LP and RICO/Alien entities; $30 for nonprofit corporations; and $25 for foreign LLP. If amount is more than stated, the total reflects amount(s) due from previous year(s) and any applicable late fee(s).

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 also be printed from at our website at soskb.sos.state.ga.us. All checks must be pre-printed with a complete address in order to be accepted by our offices 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 reject 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 by the Secretary of State. [See. O.C.G.A. �13-6-15 and Title 14, respectively.]

 

Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp has extended the deadline for annual registrations for calendar year 2013 from April 1, 2013 to May 31, 2013. Your annual registration must be postmarked by May 31, 2013.  If your annual registration and payment are not postmarked by the May 31st deadline, you will be assessed a $25.00 late filing penalty fee. 

 

If you have already sent in your registration to our Columbus offices, please allow 7 to 10 business days for processing.  Once your annual registration has been processed, you will receive a confirmation via email.  

 

Any person authorized by the entity to do so may sign and file an annual registration (including online filing).  Additionally, 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. [O.C.G.A. � 14-2-129.]
