NY Biennial Statement Filing Service

New York requires every LLC and corporation to file a Biennial Statement every two years to maintain good standing with the state. We handle the filing accurately and on time — so your business entity stays active and in compliance.

WHAT IS THE NY BIENNIAL STATEMENT?

New York Biennial Statement

The New York Biennial Statement is a mandatory filing required by the New York Department of State. Every domestic and foreign LLC and corporation registered in New York must file a Biennial Statement every two years. The statement confirms your registered agent, principal business address, and the address to which the Secretary of State should forward process served on the entity. Failure to file results in the entity being shown as past due in the state's records, which can affect your ability to obtain certificates of good standing and conduct business in New York.

An entity that fails to file its NY Biennial Statement will be shown as delinquent in state records. This can block certificates of good standing, affect contracts, and complicate banking and financing relationships.

Who Must File the NY Biennial Statement?

The following entity types registered in New York are required to file a Biennial Statement every two years:

New York domestic LLCs (Limited Liability Companies)
New York domestic corporations (for-profit and non-profit)
Foreign LLCs registered to do business in New York
Foreign corporations authorized to operate in New York
Professional service corporations and PLLCs registered in New York
Any other registered business entity with an active NY registration

Filing Deadline & Fee

Due Date

The NY Biennial Statement is due every two years during the calendar month in which your entity was originally formed or registered. For example, an LLC formed in April must file its Biennial Statement every two years during the month of April.

State Filing Fee

The state filing fee is $9 for most LLCs and corporations. While the fee is low, the consequences of missing the filing are significant — a delinquent status in state records affects your ability to obtain certificates of good standing.

Biennial Cycle

Unlike annual reports, the NY Biennial Statement is filed every two years. The New York Department of State sends a reminder to your registered agent's address, but many entities miss the notice if their registered agent information is outdated.

Process Service Address

The Biennial Statement must include a valid address to which the Secretary of State should forward legal process served on the entity. This address must be kept current to ensure you receive important legal notices.
