Georgia Secretary of State’s annual registration season for calendar year 2025 is from January 1 to April 1, 2025. 

If you have already filed your annual registration for 2025 and are in active/compliance status, you may disregard this Notice.

If your entity has already filed for 2025 as part of a multi-year annual registration, take a moment to review your entity to ensure that all information is still up to date. If there are changes that need to be made, you may file an amended annual registration.

To keep your entity in active/compliance status with the Office of Secretary of State, we encourage you to file your annual registration online with a credit card at https://ecorp.sos.ga.gov, as soon as possible. The Corporations Division accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and ATM/Debit Cards with the Visa or MasterCard logo for online filings. If your annual registration and payment is not filed by the April 1st deadline, you will be assessed a $25.00 late filing penalty fee and/or your entity may be administratively dissolved or revoked by the Secretary of State.

Use our intuitive website that allows you to file your annual registration from the One Click Annual Registration or the Annual Registration portions of the website.

The One Click Annual Registration button allows you to pay the annual registration quickly without a login if there are no changes required to the entity. (You must be current on all annual registration fees.)
 

The Annual Registration button allows you to file an annual registration with or without making changes after logging into eCorp.sos.ga.gov. If you need to make changes to the entity, then you must login. A logged in filer 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 the filer.
