Georgia annual registration filing for LLCs and corporations
Georgia’s recurring filing is the annual registration, not an annual report. LLCs and corporations file it with the Secretary of State’s Corporations Division between January 1 and April 1, and can register for up to three calendar years at once.

Who has to file the Georgia annual registration?
LLCs
Georgia LLCs file the annual registration every year between January 1 and April 1. A registration can cover one, two or three calendar years, and after a multi-year registration the next one is due between January 1 and April 1 of the year after that period ends.
Corporations
Corporations file the same annual registration on the same window. A new corporation also files an initial annual registration within 90 days after its articles of incorporation are filed; if the articles are filed after October 1, the initial registration is due between January 1 and April 1 of the following year.
Georgia folds the registered agent into the annual registration. You change the agent by filing an annual registration with changes, or an amended annual registration (Form CD 920 for an LLC), rather than a separate change form.
When is it due?
The window is January 1 to April 1, the same for every entity. That makes Georgia a single annual batch, and the multi-year option means some entities in a portfolio may not be due in a given year at all.
Where is it filed?
Annual registrations go to the Georgia Secretary of State, Corporations Division, online through eCorp or by mail.
What happens if the Georgia annual registration is late?
A late fee applies after April 1, and the entity shows as active/noncompliance in the Secretary of State’s business search. The Corporations Division then mails a notice of administrative dissolution, and the entity has 60 days from that notice to file the missing registrations and pay what is due. After that, a Georgia LLC or corporation is administratively dissolved; a foreign entity’s authority is revoked.

How does LLCity file the Georgia annual registration?
We file it for you, entity by entity, and keep the next date on your schedule. State fees are confirmed with you before anything is filed.
We list every Georgia entity you hold and which year each is registered through, so multi-year registrations are not filed twice or forgotten.
We confirm the principal office, officers or managers and the registered agent with you before January 1.
We file each registration through eCorp inside the window and send you the filed copy.
Where an entity already shows active/noncompliance, we file the missing years before the 60-day notice runs out.
Several Georgia entities?
Because the multi-year option lets entities fall out of step with each other, a Georgia portfolio needs a register of which year each entity is covered through. That register is what we keep for you.
What else recurs in Georgia?
Every recurring Georgia filing on our compliance calendar, labelled by the entity it belongs to. Fees are set by the state and confirmed with you before anything is filed.
