How to file your Iowa Business Services Division Biennial Report:
You can file your Iowa Biennial report online or by the form they mail you every other year. The report will be mailed to your Iowa registered agent. You can't find the reports on the Iowa Secretary of State website, so it's important to have an Iowa registered agent that you can trust to get these reports forwarded on to you. If you file online, there is a code on the report reminder that's mailed to your Iowa registered agent that you'll need to complete the filing. You can call the Iowa Secretary of State and have new forms mailed out to you, or they can give you the code over the phone so you can make your filing online.
