Start with a clear request.
An inactive record is a starting point for review. Before paying for an ordinary annual report, identify the company’s status, the relevant state and the filings already on record. The desk can organize a request for the appropriate reinstatement work.
What to have ready
- Legal name, document number and filing state
- Available notices or correspondence about the company’s status
- Recent annual-report history
- Current company addresses and authorized representatives
- Registered-agent details and any changes requested
How the process works
- Look up the company or enter its details for review.
- Share the relevant notices and explain the result you want.
- Review the proposed filing work and itemized government and service fees.
- Authorize the request and track the state’s response in your dashboard.
Service fees and government charges
Reinstatement work is quoted after reviewing the record. Past-year reports, penalties, government reinstatement charges and amendments may affect the total; the ordinary $69 annual-report service should not be treated as a complete reinstatement quote.
Questions before you start
Will deleting an old listing reinstate a company?
Changing a directory listing does not change the state business record. Reinstatement requires the applicable state process and confirmation.
Can I use the company’s old name?
Name availability and the state’s reinstatement requirements need review. A directory record alone does not establish the right to reuse a name.
