2020 Georgia Annual Registration Season is Here for Contractor License

Georgia Secretary of State’s annual registration season for 2020 is from now to April 1, 2020. If your annual registration and payment are not postmarked by the April 1, 2020 deadline, you will be fined a $25 late filing penalty fee. Your entity may be administratively dissolved or revoked by the Secretary of State.

To keep your entity in “good standing” with the Office of Secretary of State, it is encouraged that you file your annual registration online with a credit card at https://ecorp.sos.ga.gov as soon as possible. You can file your annual registration with or without making changes after logging into eCorp.sos.ga.gov.  You will be able to review all filings and receipts in the filer’s dashboard, and the annual registration and receipt will also be emailed to you.

Annual registration fees are: $50 for profit corporations, LLCs, and LPs; $30 for nonprofit corporations; and $25 for foreign LLPs. If the amount listed for your entity is more than the stated fees, then the total reflects amount(s) due from previous year(s) and/or any applicable late fee(s).

Annual registrations not processed online may be filed by mail and require a printed annual registration form and payment with a check, certified bank check, or money order. Your completed annual registration form should be mailed to: Office of Secretary of State, Annual Registration Filings, 2 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr., 313 West Tower, Atlanta, GA 30334.

A paper form can be printed from https://ecorp.sos.ga.gov. All checks must be pre-printed with a complete address in order to be for processing. Cash is not accepted for payment. Failure to adhere to these guidelines will delay or possibly reject your filing. Checks that are dishonored by your bank are subject to a $30.00 NSF charge. Failure to honor your payment could result in a civil suit filed against you and/or your entity may be administratively dissolved or revoked by the Secretary of State.
