Annual Filings
Agency: Licensing and Regulatory Affairs
Every corporation is required to file an Information Update each year, beginning the year after formation or qualification. The Bureau will send a pre-printed report to the corporation's resident agent at the registered office address. The update is completed to report any changes in resident agent or registered office, the purposes, and the current officers and directors names and addresses.
If a corporation does not file the updates, the result is an automatic dissolution or withdrawal under the Act. However, as required by the Act, notices of impending dissolution or withdrawal and the missing updates are sent to the corporation's resident agent prior to the automatic dissolution or revocation.
