Louisiana Annual Report Requirements

Louisiana requires most business entities to file an annual report with the Louisiana Secretary of State. Understanding these requirements helps you avoid penalties and keep your business in good standing.

What Is an Annual Report?

An annual report is a filing that updates the state on your entity's current information. It confirms your business address, principal officers, registered office, and registered agent. The Louisiana Secretary of State uses this information to maintain accurate records and ensure they can contact your business when needed.

Why File an Annual Report?

Filing your annual report keeps your entity active and compliant. If you fail to file, the state may:

Impose late fees or penalties
Administratively dissolve your entity
Prevent you from filing other documents until you're current
Create compliance issues that affect your ability to do business

Regular filing ensures your business stays in good standing and avoids these headaches.

Louisiana Filing Details

Filing Frequency: Annual Fee: $30 online, $35 by mail Due Date: Anniversary date (the date your entity was formed) Where to File: Louisiana Secretary of State at sos.la.gov

Your initial report is filed with your Articles of Organization at no additional fee. After that, you file annually on or before your anniversary date to keep your entity current.

What Information Do You File?

Your annual report typically includes:

Current business name and entity type
Principal office address
Registered office address in Louisiana
Registered agent name and address
Names and addresses of officers, directors, or managers
Business purpose (if applicable)

You'll confirm that this information is current or update it if anything has changed since your last filing.

Consequences of Not Filing

Missing your annual report deadline can lead to:

Late Fees The state may charge additional fees for late filings. The longer you wait, the more you may owe.

Administrative Dissolution Your entity may be administratively dissolved, which can affect your ability to conduct business, open bank accounts, or enter contracts.

Reinstatement Costs If your entity is dissolved for non-filing, you'll need to file reinstatement paperwork and pay additional fees to restore good standing.

Legal Complications Operating a business that's not in good standing can create liability issues and complicate legal protections your entity structure provides.

Our service includes:

Compliance reminders for annual reports and deadlines
Same-day document scanning and forwarding
Online portal access to all state correspondence
Privacy protection—our address on public filings
Physical Louisiana registered office address

Filing Your Annual Report

You can file online through the Louisiana Secretary of State's website or submit a paper form by mail. Online filing is faster and costs $5 less than paper filing.

Your specific deadline is your anniversary date—the date your entity was originally formed. Check your entity's record with the Louisiana Secretary of State to confirm your exact due date.
