LLC reinstatement guide: how to restore a dissolved or revoked company
If your LLC missed annual reports, did not pay state taxes or fees, or had no registered agent on file, the state may have administratively dissolved, revoked or forfeited it. Reinstatement brings the company back to active status and good standing.
Signs your company needs reinstating
- The state business search shows the status as dissolved, inactive, revoked, forfeited or not in good standing
- Your bank or a payment processor asks for a certificate of good standing and the state will not issue one
- You received state notices about overdue reports or taxes
How reinstatement works
- Find out exactly why the state dissolved the company and what is outstanding
- File every missing annual report and pay past-due fees, taxes and penalties
- Appoint a current registered agent if needed
- File the state's reinstatement application. Some states also require a tax clearance letter.
- Receive confirmation that the company is active again
Act quickly
Many states limit how long after dissolution you can reinstate, and once a company is dissolved its name may become available to someone else. In many states, a successful reinstatement treats the company as if it had never been dissolved, which protects contracts and the liability shield, but rules vary by state. After reinstatement, keep up with your annual reports so it does not happen again.
