Business reinstatement after a missed filing

Check the entity’s status, identify the missed filing and review reinstatement fees and outstanding reports through verified state examples.

Last verified Oct 25, 2026

Begin with the agency’s status record and the notice you received. Write down the exact status, the missing filing and the entity type. Use those details to find the corrective process. This guide follows the evidence from a missed report to the published reinstatement charge, without estimating a total balance.

Identify what happened to the record

Match the status language to the filing that triggered it. Keep a past-due report, dissolution and revocation distinct in your notes; use the agency’s own terms. If the status is unclear, ask the agency before selecting a form.

New York biennial statements: Certificates of status show the statement as past due, which may prevent certain transactions.

Florida annual reports: If no report is filed by the third Friday of September, dissolution or revocation occurs at close of business on the fourth Friday of September. Reinstatement requires the reinstatement fee plus all annual report fees due.

Administratively dissolved or revoked entities may be reinstated, but it requires submitting a reinstatement application and paying all associated fees (the reinstatement fee + annual report fees due) at the time of submission.

Check the charge for your entity type

Read the reinstatement fee in the row for your entity. Do not transfer a corporation’s charge to an LLC or treat the base reinstatement fee as an all-inclusive amount. Keep outstanding report years beside the fee record when you contact the agency.

Florida lists base reinstatement fees of $100 for an LLC, $600 for a profit corporation and $175 for a nonprofit corporation; its fee schedule also adds each report year’s fee.

Reinstatement – Profit Corporation | $600.00 | + $150 for each report year Reinstatement – Non-Profit Corporation | $175.00 | + $61.25 for each report year Reinstatement – Limited Liability Company | $100.00 | + $138.75 for each report year

Keep late charges separate from reinstatement

Check both the late-charge and consequence fields. Record any exemption exactly where the agency gives it. If one part of the balance is missing, request the amount from the agency instead of using a zero or multiplying a fee without a supported rule.

Florida: $400 for profit corporations and LLCs after May 1; nonprofit corporations are not subject to this late fee.

Source and quotation
A $400 late fee will be imposed on all profit corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships and limited liability limited partnerships. Non-profit corporations are not subject to the $400 late fee.

Confirm the corrective filing and save the result

Use the official application and confirm which reports, payments and supporting items must accompany it. After submission, save the receipt and recheck the agency’s status record. Once the record is resolved, return to the ordinary filing rule to plan your next reminder.
