Georgia Annual Report FAQs

Does Georgia require businesses to file an initial report?

Georgia only requires corporations to file an initial report within 90 days after formation. However, if you incorporate after October 1, you will only be required to submit one report between January 1 and April 1 of the following year. LLCs do not have to file an initial report.

If you hire us to start your Georgia corporation, we’ll file your initial report on your behalf.

What happens if I don’t file a Georgia Annual Report?

If you fail to file your Georgia Annual Report, you will be charged a $25 late fee. In addition, the state could administratively dissolve your LLC or corporation if you are 60 days (or more) late.

Can I update my registered agent information on my Georgia Annual Report?

The state does allow you to update information (such as your registered agent) on the Georgia annual report.

Can I file an annual report for multiple years?

Georgia does allow you to file an annual report ($55 online, $60 paper) for up to three consecutive years:

1. Current year only
2. Current year + the following year
3. Current year + the next two following years

If you choose to file for multiple years, you will need to pay the appropriate fee for each year. For example, if you file for the years 2025 and 2026, you’ll need to pay a total of $110 (online) or $120 (paper).

Who can file a Georgia Annual Report?

Any authorized person may submit the Georgia Annual Report on behalf of your LLC or corporation. An authorized person can be someone within the company (like a director or manager) or someone outside the business (like us) that you hire to file your report.

Can I update my Georgia Annual Report after it’s been submitted?

You can make updates to your Georgia Annual Report by filing an Amended Annual Registration for LLC or Amended Annual Registration for Corporation. The filing fee is $25 (online) or $30 (paper).
