Illinois annual reports are generally due before the first day of your business’s anniversary month, meaning they are typically filed by the last day of the month before your entity was originally formed or registered in Illinois. For example, if your Illinois LLC or corporation was formed in June, the annual report is usually due by May 31 each year. Confirm your exact filing deadline and fees with the Illinois Secretary of State.

Illinois generally allows registered agent changes through the Secretary of State’s online filing system. Check the current Illinois Secretary of State website for filing options and fees.
