|---|---|
| Fee | $9. Expedited handling is not available.[1] |
| Due date | Every two years, during the calendar month in which the LLC's original Articles of Organization (or Application for Authority) were filed. Don't file before that month.[1] |

| Where to file | Department of State e-Statement Filing Service (needs the exact entity name and DOS ID).[1] |
Lookalike letters the state has warned about
- New York Attorney General (2023) shut down websites that copied the Department of State's seal and look and charged far more than state fees, e.g. $135 for a certified copy that cost $10 from the state. Check for a .gov address before paying.[2]
