Frequently Asked Questions About California Annual Report Filing

Here are the questions our California customers ask most.

What is the California Statement of Information

The California Statement of Information is a required filing that keeps the state’s records current for your business. It includes basic details like your business address, agent for service of process, and leadership information. Most California businesses must file an initial Statement of Information within 90 days of registration, then file again on an annual or biennial schedule based on entity type. → Full breakdown: California Statement of Information Guide

When is my California Statement of Information due?

California due dates depend on your entity type and registration date. Most businesses must file an initial Statement of Information within 90 days of registration.

After that, corporations generally file every year during their applicable filing period. LLCs and nonprofit corporations generally file every two years during their applicable filing period.

How much does it cost to file my California Statement of Information?

The state of California charges $25 for stock corporations and foreign corporations, and $20 for LLCs and nonprofit corporations. If you file through USFS, our service fee is $149 plus state fees.

What happens if I don't file my California statement of information?

Missing the deadline can lead to penalties and may put your business at risk of suspension or forfeiture by the state. It can also make it harder to keep business records current, secure financing, sign contracts, or complete filings in other states.

If your business falls out of good standing, you may need to file overdue Statements of Information, pay any required penalties, and complete additional steps to restore your status.

Is USFS affiliated with the California Secretary of State?

No. USFS is a private filing service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operating on behalf of the California Secretary of State or California state government. We prepare and submit filings on behalf of our customers, but we are an independent company.

Can I file my California Statement of Information myself?

Yes. You can file directly through the California Secretary of State’s bizfile Online portal. The state filing fee is $25 for corporations and $20 for LLCs and nonprofit corporations.

USFS is an option for business owners who prefer to delegate the process and avoid navigating the state portal.

What information do I need to file my California Statement of Information?

You’ll need your business’s registered office address in California, a brief description of your business purpose, and the names and addresses of your officers (for corporations) or members/managers (for LLCs). → Full filing checklist: California Statement of Information Guide

Does USFS offer registered agent services in California?

Yes, through our Annual Compliance Subscription. Starting at $299/year, the subscription includes registered agent service, annual report filing, and the $7 state fee, so you have one annual payment and nothing to track yourself.
