New York requires newspaper publication within 120 days of formation (typically $300 to $1,200 depending on county, paid to newspapers directly). We file the articles; publication is arranged and paid by you directly with the newspapers.
Updated November 1, 2026. The fee, the deadline and the penalty above are New York'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 New York Form Asks
New York takes the Biennial Statement online at filing.dos.ny.gov, with no account needed. It is run by the New York Department of State, the office that keeps the company's record.
The Biennial Statement confirms what the state has on file for the LLC: the principal office and mailing address, the registered agent and registered office, and the managers or members (some states' screens say governors, officials or principals). Anything that changed since the last filing is updated on it, and an authorized person signs it electronically before the state fee is paid.
Formed this year?
An LLC formed on March 15, 2026 owes nothing for 2026; its first Biennial Statement is due March 31, 2028, the last day of its anniversary month. After that it files every second year (2030, 2032).
Have ready before you start
- The company's exact legal name as New York registered it
- Its New York file or entity 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 New York 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 New York screens do.

How to File It Yourself
1. Open the New York filing site
The Biennial Statement is filed with the New York Department of State at filing.dos.ny.gov. No account is needed. New York takes it the last day of your anniversary month; the state takes it only during the anniversary month itself.
2. Find your company
Look it up by its New York file or entity number, the number on the company's New York 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; a new registered agent is a separate change filing in New York.
4. Sign and pay the state
Sign as an authorized person and pay New York's fee ($9 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 New York filing site.
| File it yourself | Have it filed | |
|---|---|---|
| Account | None needed | None needed |
| Finding the company | You enter the New York file or entity 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 New York 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 (the last day of your anniversary month; the state takes it only during the anniversary month itself) | 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 | A separate change filing with the New York Department of State | Chosen on the order form; we file the change with the report order |
- Registered agent and registered office
- The person or company at a New York 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 Biennial Statement lists them, usually with a business address for each, and some state screens call them governors, officials or principals.
- New York file or entity number
- The number New York 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 New York Biennial Statement
- Filing a Biennial Statement for the year the LLC was formed: a company formed in 2026 owes its first in 2028, and the state is not waiting for one before that.
- Filing outside the window: the Biennial Statement is due the last day of your anniversary month, and the state takes it only during the anniversary month itself; the state's system does not take it earlier.
- Filing in an off year: New York's report falls every second year, counted from the formation year, so a company formed in 2026 has no 2029 report.
- Looking the company up by name instead of its New York file or entity number: two companies can carry near-identical names, and the report then updates the wrong record.
- Trying to change the registered agent on the Biennial Statement: New York takes the agent change as its own filing, before or after the report.
- Waiting too long: New York keeps taking the late report, with no late fee, through December 31 of the report year. The LLC is marked past due on the Department of State record until the statement is filed.
After you file
filing.dos.ny.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 New York Department of State posts the Biennial Statement to the public record. Once posted, the company's status on the New York 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 New York business registry expects is the next Biennial Statement, two years later; taxes and licenses run on their own calendars with other agencies.
Changing Your Registered Agent
New York's Biennial Statement confirms the registered agent on record but does not replace it. A new agent is its own change-of-agent filing with the New York Department of State, filed before or after the report.
Registered agent service through America LLC Filing
Our registered agent partner's New York address goes on the public record instead of yours, and legal and state mail is scanned and forwarded the same business day. We file New York's change-of-agent form for you with the report order. Choose it on the order form.
File my report and switch my agent →How our registered agent service worksNew York Biennial Statement: Questions
Can I file the New York Biennial Statement online?+
Yes. New York takes it online through the New York Department of State (filing.dos.ny.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 New York Biennial Statement due?+
The last day of your anniversary month in each report year. The state takes it only during the anniversary month itself. Order any time: if New York is not accepting the report yet, we hold it and file it the day the state opens.
What if I missed the New York deadline?+
New York adds no late fee. New York keeps taking the late report, with no late fee, through December 31 of the report year. The LLC is marked past due on the Department of State record until the statement is filed. 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 New York Biennial Statement every year?+
Every two years, counted from the year the LLC was formed (formed in 2026: 2028, then 2030). In the years between, New York has nothing to take from your LLC, and a report sent in an off year is not what the state is waiting for. The dates table above shows which years are yours.
My LLC was formed this year. Do I file a Biennial Statement?+
Not this year. An LLC formed on March 15, 2026 owes nothing for 2026; its first Biennial Statement is due March 31, 2028, the last day of its anniversary month. After that it files every second year (2030, 2032). 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 New York file or entity 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 filing.dos.ny.gov?+
No. The New York filing site takes the Biennial Statement without an account; you start from the company's New York file or entity number and pay at the end. When we file for you, we start from the same number.
Can I change my New York registered agent at the same time?+
Yes. New York takes the agent change as its own filing, separate from the Biennial Statement; choose our registered agent service on our order form and we file that change for you with the report order, so our partner's New York address replaces yours on the record.
Is America LLC Filing the New York 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 New York. The state's fee is the same whether you file at filing.dos.ny.gov yourself or we file for you.
