- If you miss it
- Michigan keeps taking the late report, with no late fee, through December 31 of the report year. A missed statement is simply filed later; the LLC is marked not in good standing until it is.
The 2026 Annual Statement was due February 15, 2026; Michigan still takes it with no late fee through December 31, 2026. The 2027 window opens January 1, 2027 and closes February 15, 2027.
Updated November 1, 2026. The fee, the deadline and the penalty above are Michigan'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 Michigan Form Asks
The MiBusiness Registry sits behind a MiLogin for Business account. You search the entity by its ID number and Request Access; Michigan emails the resident agent each time access is requested, so expect that email.
Under My Records, File Annual Statement shows the resident agent and registered office for review (change them only if they changed), then a signature as a member, manager or authorized agent and card payment.
The state fee is $25 for statements through September 30, 2027 and $15 after that. An LLC formed after September 30 owes nothing the next February 15; its first statement is the February after.
Formed this year?
An LLC formed in 2026 owes no Annual Statement for 2026; its first is the 2027 report, due February 15, 2027. One formed after September 30 skips that first Annual Statement too; its first is due February 15, 2028.
Have ready before you start
- The company's exact legal name as Michigan registered it
- Its ID 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 Michigan 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 Michigan screens do.

How to File It Yourself
1. Open the Michigan filing site
The Annual Statement is filed with the Michigan LARA, Corporations Division at michigan.gov. It asks you to sign in or create an account first. Michigan takes it January 1 to February 15.
2. Find your company
Look it up by its ID number, the number on the company's Michigan 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 Michigan's fee ($25 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 Michigan filing site.
| File it yourself | Have it filed | |

| Account | Your own login on michigan.gov | Our filer's account; nothing is created in your name |
| Finding the company | You enter the ID 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 Michigan 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 February 15) | 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 Statement | Chosen on the order form and named on the same filing |
- Registered agent and registered office
- The person or company at a Michigan 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 Statement lists them, usually with a business address for each, and some state screens call them governors, officials or principals.
- ID number
- The number Michigan 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 Michigan Annual Statement
- Filing an Annual Statement 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: Michigan does not take the new report year before then.
- Looking the company up by name instead of its ID number: two companies can carry near-identical names, and the report then updates the wrong record.
- Leaving a registered agent change for later: Michigan takes the new agent on this filing, and a change left off it needs its own filing afterwards.
- Changing the resident agent on the statement when the agent did not change: review the agent and registered office and edit them only if they moved.
- Waiting too long: Michigan keeps taking the late report, with no late fee, through December 31 of the report year. A missed statement is simply filed later; the LLC is marked not in good standing until it is.
After you file
michigan.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 Michigan LARA posts the Annual Statement to the public record. Once posted, the company's status on the Michigan 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 Michigan business registry expects is the next Annual Statement, a year later; taxes and licenses run on their own calendars with other agencies.
Change Your Agent on the Report
Michigan's Annual Statement 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 Michigan address goes on the public record instead of yours, and legal and state mail is scanned and forwarded the same business day. Michigan's Annual Statement 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 worksMichigan Annual Statement: Questions
Can I file the Michigan Annual Statement online?+
Yes. Michigan takes it online through the Michigan LARA, Corporations Division (michigan.gov), after you sign in or create an account. 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 Michigan Annual Statement due?+
February 15 each year. Michigan takes it January 1 to February 15. The next deadline is February 15, 2027. Order any time: if Michigan is not accepting the report yet, we hold it and file it the day the state opens.
What if I missed the Michigan deadline?+
Michigan adds no late fee. Michigan keeps taking the late report, with no late fee, through December 31 of the report year. A missed statement is simply filed later; the LLC is marked not in good standing until it is. 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 Michigan Annual Statement every year?+
Every year. The deadline is February 15, and it does not move with the calendar: a weekend or holiday deadline is still the deadline unless Michigan says otherwise, so file ahead of it.
My LLC was formed this year. Do I file an Annual Statement?+
Not this year. An LLC formed in 2026 owes no Annual Statement for 2026; its first is the 2027 report, due February 15, 2027. One formed after September 30 skips that first Annual Statement too; its first is due February 15, 2028. 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 ID 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 michigan.gov?+
Yes. The Michigan filing site asks you to sign in or register before it opens the Annual Statement; the MiBusiness Registry sits behind a MiLogin for Business account. You search the entity by its ID number and Request Access; Michigan emails the resident agent each time access is requested, so expect that email. When we file for you, our filer's account is used and nothing is created in your name.
Can I change my Michigan registered agent at the same time?+
Yes. Michigan's Annual Statement can name a new registered agent, so choosing our registered agent service on our order form puts our partner's Michigan address on the record instead of yours with this filing.
Is America LLC Filing the Michigan 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 Michigan. The state's fee is the same whether you file at michigan.gov yourself or we file for you.
