What information do I need to provide?​

Georgia’s annual registration form is a simple document. You don’t need to include extensive financial data, like in other states. Here’s what you’ll need to provide:

  • Control number or the name of the business
  • Mailing address of the principal office 
  • Name of the person filing the annual registration 
  • A valid email address 
  • Name and address of the registered agent (must be a physical street address in Georgia where an individual can be located in person for the company) 
  • Name and address of each officer, such as the CEO, CFO, and Secretary (corporations only) 

The form is straightforward, but it’s important to fill it out completely and correctly to avoid late fees and penalties. Get help filing if you need it.

Georgia Annual Registration FAQ

Annual registrations keep the Georgia Secretary of State informed about the status of your business. They let the state know that your business entity still exists.

Annual registrations are required by law, so be sure to file on time.

You can file multiple annual registrations in a year, and the state encourages you to do so if any information changes. For example, if your business address changes, you should complete a new annual registration as soon as possible.

If you file multiple annual registrations in any given year, it does not mean you can skip filing the next year. You must file at least one annual registration each year between January 1st and April 1st.

Any “authorized person” can file an annual registration form on behalf of your business. An authorized person is anyone a business permits to act on its behalf. It could be a director, a manager, or even someone outside the business you hire to file your report, like FastFilings.

Georgia fines $25 for late filing. If you are more than 60 days late filing your annual registration, your business could be administratively dissolved, or your authorization to do business in Georgia could be revoked.

It’s crucial to file on time when your report is due. FastFilings can help you file in just minutes.

Annual registrations are due on April 1st of each year, but you can file anytime between January 1st and April 1st.

Online filings are processed immediately. If you mail your filing or submit it in person, it takes between 10 and 15 business days to process.
