California Statement of Information Filing Instructions

How to file your California Annual Report and California Biennial report:

California calls these an annual Statement of Information and a biennial Statement of Information.

A domestic California corporation statement of information is called a : SI-200 C (SI-200 N/C if no changes).

California Foreign corporations file a: SI-350.

California domestic or foreign LLC's file a: LLC-12 (LLC-12R if no changes).

You can file corporations online for immediate processing, but LLCs have to be done with the paper forms. We recommend you do the online process, as the State takes FOREVER to process the mailed in statements. The online process is filed immediately, and there are some pretty hefty late fees.

There are two separate paper forms. One is if you aren't making any changes, the other is used if you are making changes.
The forms are:

Domestic CA Corporation (no change) FORM SI-200 N/C
Domestic CA Corporation with changes FORM SI-200 C
Foreign CA Corporation FORM SI-350
Domestic & Foreign (no changes) FORM LLC - 12R
Domestic & Foreign California LLCs with change FORM LLC-12

When is the California Annual Report and the California Biennial Report for LLC's due?

You can file the annual reports 5 months prior to the filing month. The report is due by the end of the month you make the filing in.

California LLC's, foreign California LLC's registered to do business in CA, and domestic California corporations are required to file an initial report (California Statement of information) within 90 days of your filing. Typically, you will get this mailed back to you with your completed file stamped "filing".

Foreign corporations are not required to file an initial statement of information. They just have to file their first annual statement of information by the end of the anniversary month they initially qualified to do business in CA.

LLC's file biennial reports. These are due by the last day of the month biennially.

Corporations must file every year. They are also due by the last day of the month, only annually.
