How to file the Washington DC annual report
- Know your deadline
By April 1 of the year after registration, then every 2 years by April 1. Put it in your calendar the day the company is formed — many states do not send paper reminders.
- Gather the details
Company name and state file number, principal office address, registered agent name and address, and the names and addresses of managers or members (officers and directors for a corporation).
- File with the Washington DC Secretary of State
Most states accept the report online; some still allow mail. Pay the state fee by card or e-check and keep the confirmation.
- Or let Incofile file it
Order the filing, confirm the pre-filled details in your client portal, and we submit it, pay the state fee on your behalf and store the receipt. We also remind you before the next one.
What happens if you miss it?
$100 late fee. Beyond the penalty itself, a late or missing report puts the company out of good standing: banks and partners can refuse to deal with it, and if it stays unfiled the state can administratively dissolve the company. Reinstatement is always more expensive than filing on time.
