ANNUAL REPORT

All profit and non-profit corporations (domestic and foreign), as well as all limited partnerships, limited liability companies, and limited liability partnerships must submit annual reports and associated processing fees each year following their dates of incorporation/registration. Online filing is now mandatory for all annual report filings. The annual report due date for all businesses will be the last day of the anniversary month of the entity's formation in New Jersey.

The annual fees are: 

$50.00 for profit corporations, LPs, LLPs, and LLCs
$25.00 for non-profits

Information from the annual report is public and forms the core of the State's corporate/ business status reporting system. This information is relied on heavily by the commercial, financial and legal sectors.

You may use the annual report filing to change a registered agent or registered office for the business. The fee of $25.00 for these changes is in addition to the annual report fee. Remember that a registered agent must have a New Jersey address and that the physical location of the registered office must be indicated.

Individuals who may sign the annual report are specifically designated. For corporations, either the registered agent or a corporate officer may sign. Annual reports for other business types may be signed by any authorized representative.

Annual report filing is a prerequisite for maintaining an active business status. In accordance with State law, businesses that fail to file annual reports for two consecutive years will be revoked.
