File Your Georgia Annual Registration Online
Georgia's Annual Registration is filed online with the Georgia Secretary of State, Corporations Division at ecorp.sos.ga.gov. It is due April 1 each year, and the state adds a $25 penalty when it is late. We prepare it from your company's details and submit it to the state for you, so it is done before the deadline and off your list.

- Georgia keeps taking the late report, with the $25 penalty, through December 31 of the report year. Georgia administratively dissolves or revokes an LLC that is one report behind, and the company then has to be reinstated.
The 2026 Annual Registration was due April 1, 2026; Georgia still takes it with the state's $25 penalty through December 31, 2026. The 2027 window opens January 1, 2027 and closes April 1, 2027.
Updated November 1, 2026. The fee, the deadline and the penalty above are Georgia's own, from the state's published schedule and statute, and the penalty is paid to the state, not to us. Every state's report is listed on the annual report directory.

What the Georgia Form Asks
eCorp has two routes. When nothing has changed and no earlier year is past due, One Click Annual Registration needs no login: enter the control number, confirm, pay the state.
When anything changed (the registered agent, the principal office, the email address), it is Annual Registration With Changes behind an eCorp login. You fill the new details, certify them and sign with a typed name and title.
A registration filed before January 1 does not count for the new year; eCorp applies it to the year that is open.
Formed this year?
An LLC formed in 2026 owes no Annual Registration for 2026; its first is the 2027 report, due April 1, 2027.
Have ready before you start
- The company's exact legal name as Georgia registered it
- Its control number, from the state's record or the formation approval
- The principal office street address and the mailing address, if different
- The registered agent's name and Georgia street address
- The names and addresses of the managers or members on record
- The name and title of the person signing, and a card for the state fee
Our order form asks for the same items, in the same order the Georgia screens do.
Georgia Annual Registration Dates
| Formed | First Annual Registration due | After that |
|---|---|---|
| Formed in 2025 | April 1, 2026 | 2027, then every year |

How to File It Yourself
1. Open the Georgia filing site
The Annual Registration is filed with the Georgia Secretary of State, Corporations Division at ecorp.sos.ga.gov. No account is needed. Georgia takes it January 1 to April 1.
2. Find your company
Look it up by its control number, the number on the company's Georgia record, not by name alone. Two companies can have near-identical names, and a report filed under the wrong number files the wrong company's report.
3. Confirm or update the details
The principal office and mailing address, the registered agent and registered office, and the managers or members on record. Anything that changed since the last filing goes in now, including a new registered agent.
4. Sign and pay the state
Sign as an authorized person and pay Georgia's fee ($60 for an LLC). Save the confirmation; it is your proof of filing until the state's record shows the report.
Rather skip the state's site? We file it for you, and the state's confirmation comes to your inbox. To file it yourself, start at the Georgia filing site.
| File it yourself | Have it filed | |
|---|---|---|
| Account | None needed | None needed |
| Finding the company | You enter the control number | We look up the record and match it to your order |
| The details | You retype the addresses, the agent and the managers or members on the state's screens | You confirm them once on our form; we check them against the Georgia record before filing |
| Signing | An authorized person signs electronically | You authorize the filing at checkout and name the signer; the state's signature line is completed the way the state allows |
| State fee | Paid to the state by card at the end | Paid to the state on your behalf and itemized on the order review step |
| Timing | Any time the window is open (January 1 to April 1) | Order any time; a report the state is not taking yet is held and filed the day the window opens |
| Confirmation | Shown on screen; save it yourself | The state's confirmation is emailed to you and kept on your order page |
| Registered agent change | Named on the Annual Registration | Chosen on the order form and named on the same filing |
- Registered agent and registered office
- The person or company at a Georgia street address that receives lawsuits and state notices for the LLC; a post office box does not qualify, and the agent's address is public.
- Principal office and mailing address
- Where the business is run, and the address the state should write to if that differs; both appear on the public record.
- Managers or members
- Who runs the LLC. The Annual Registration lists them, usually with a business address for each, and some state screens call them governors, officials or principals.
- Control number
- The number Georgia gave the company when it was formed. It is on the approved formation document and on the state's business search, and it is how the filing finds the right record.
- Good standing, dissolution and reinstatement
- Good standing is the status a company keeps by filing on time. Administrative dissolution (some states say revocation or forfeiture) is what the state does to one that stops filing, and reinstatement is the filing that brings it back, with the missed reports and fees.
What Goes Wrong on the Georgia Annual Registration
- Filing an Annual Registration for the year the LLC was formed: a company formed in 2026 owes its first in 2027, and the state is not waiting for one before that.
- Filing before the window opens on January 1: a registration filed before January 1 is applied to the year that is open, so it does not count for the new year.
- Looking the company up by name instead of its control number: two companies can carry near-identical names, and the report then updates the wrong record.
- Leaving a registered agent change for later: Georgia takes the new agent on this filing, and a change left off it needs its own filing afterwards.
- Using One Click when something changed: the registration certifies the record as it stands, so a new agent, office or email needs Annual Registration With Changes.
- Waiting too long: Georgia keeps taking the late report, with the $25 penalty, through December 31 of the report year. Georgia administratively dissolves or revokes an LLC that is one report behind, and the company then has to be reinstated.
After you file
ecorp.sos.ga.gov shows a confirmation and sends a receipt to the filer's email; keep it with the company's records, because it is the proof of filing until the Georgia Secretary of State posts the Annual Registration to the public record. Once posted, the company's status on the Georgia business search stays active, which is what a bank, a lender, a landlord or a licensing board checks before it opens an account, extends credit or renews a license. A certificate of status or good standing, where one of them asks for paper proof, is a separate document the state issues on request. The next thing the Georgia business registry expects is the next Annual Registration, a year later; taxes and licenses run on their own calendars with other agencies.
Change Your Agent on the Report
Georgia's Annual Registration can name a new registered agent and registered office, so a company switching agents does it on this filing, with no separate change form and no second state fee.
Registered agent service through America LLC Filing
Our registered agent partner's Georgia address goes on the public record instead of yours, and legal and state mail is scanned and forwarded the same business day. Georgia's Annual Registration names the new agent, so it is done with this filing. Choose it on the order form.
File my report and switch my agent →How our registered agent service worksGeorgia Annual Registration: Questions
Can I file the Georgia Annual Registration online?+
Yes. Georgia takes it online through the Georgia Secretary of State, Corporations Division (ecorp.sos.ga.gov), with no account needed. If you would rather not, we file it for you: one short form with your company's details, and we submit it to the state.
When is the Georgia Annual Registration due?+
April 1 each year. Georgia takes it January 1 to April 1. The next deadline is April 1, 2027. Order any time: if Georgia is not accepting the report yet, we hold it and file it the day the state opens.
What if I missed the Georgia deadline?+
The state's late penalty is $25, added by the state after April 1. Georgia keeps taking the late report, with the $25 penalty, through December 31 of the report year. Georgia administratively dissolves or revokes an LLC that is one report behind, and the company then has to be reinstated. We file late reports while the state still takes them; the state's penalty, where there is one, is paid to the state with its fee.
Is the Georgia Annual Registration every year?+
Every year. The deadline is April 1, and it does not move with the calendar: a weekend or holiday deadline is still the deadline unless Georgia says otherwise, so file ahead of it.
My LLC was formed this year. Do I file an Annual Registration?+
Not this year. An LLC formed in 2026 owes no Annual Registration for 2026; its first is the 2027 report, due April 1, 2027. A report filed for the formation year is not required, and the state's system will either refuse it or treat it as next year's.
What do I need to file it?+
The company's exact legal name and its control number, the principal and mailing address, the registered agent on record, and the managers or members. We ask for the same on our order form, so nothing is missing when we file.
Do I need an account on ecorp.sos.ga.gov?+
No. The Georgia filing site takes the Annual Registration without an account; you start from the company's control number and pay at the end. When we file for you, we start from the same number.
Can I change my Georgia registered agent at the same time?+
Yes. Georgia's Annual Registration can name a new registered agent, so choosing our registered agent service on our order form puts our partner's Georgia address on the record instead of yours with this filing.
Is America LLC Filing the Georgia state office?+
No. America LLC Filing is a private filing service, not a government agency and not a law firm, and it is not affiliated with Georgia. The state's fee is the same whether you file at ecorp.sos.ga.gov yourself or we file for you.
