for an important Annual Registration announcement.
*Georgia Secretary of State’s annual registration season for calendar year
2020 is from January 1, 2020 to April 1, 2020.* *Your annual registration
must be postmarked by* *April 1, 2020*. If your annual registration and
payment are not postmarked 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.
*To keep your entity in “Good Standing” 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
<https://ecorp.sos.ga.gov/?utm_source=Sendy&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=JanAR>,
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 only.
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
<https://ecorp.sos.ga.gov/?utm_source=Sendy&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=JanAR>.
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.
The *Bulk One Click Annual Registration *option allows logged in customers
to process up to 100 annual registrations without any changes at one time
with one credit card payment.
------------------------------
*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NOTIFICATON MAY BE SENT TO MORE THAN ONE EMAIL
ADDRESS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTITY; PLEASE CHECK WITH ALL PARTIES

FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. *

The annual registration fees are: $50 for profit corporations, LLCs, and
LPs; $30 for nonprofit corporations; and $25 for foreign LLPs. *If the

bank check or money order. Please mail your completed annual registration

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. [See. O.C.G.A. §13-6-15 and Title 14, respectively.]
Any person authorized by the entity to do so may sign and file an annual
registration (including online filing). Please be advised that a person who
signs a document or submits an electronic filing he or she knows is false
in any material respect with the intent that the document be delivered to
the Secretary of State for filing shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and,
upon conviction thereof, shall be punished to the highest degree
permissible by law. [O.C.G.A. § 14-2-129.]
