Louisiana annual report: your date, counted in strikes.
Louisiana puts the annual report on your exact formation date, thirty dollars, no rounding to month-end, and then counts in public: one missed anniversary drops the record to not in good standing, three consecutive misses draw a thirty-day notice and revoke the charter, and the reinstatement window itself closes three years after that. A date-specific deadline with a three-strike rule, in the state where everything else already runs on its own calendar.
This year's report, prepared and filed with the Secretary of State, with your standing verified after it posts.
Four facts cover the whole system
A once-a-year confirmation filed with the Secretary of State: addresses, registered agent, and officials refreshed on the record. What we file for you →
On the exact anniversary of your formation date, every year: March 12 means March 12, not the end of March. The precision is the whole trap. Put your exact date on a watched calendar →
$30 for an LLC, set by statute. When we file it for you, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, as a one-time filing or on the automated annual plan, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, so nothing quoted here can go stale.
One miss: not in good standing, publicly. Three consecutive unfiled years: a thirty-day written notice, then charter revocation. And the door itself closes: reinstatement is available for only three years after revocation.

One date to keep, three misses to lose it
The Louisiana annual report is $30, due on the exact anniversary of formation. One missed date means not in good standing; three consecutive unfiled years bring a thirty-day notice and revocation; and reinstatement itself expires three years after that. Louisiana gives you a precise date, three strikes, and a countdown on the cure. Automation is not a convenience here.
Where you stand decides what you do next
Ahead: file now and retire the year. Behind: file this week, because strike one is public already and Louisiana’s counter does not reset until the report lands.
Strike three is on the table and the fuse is lit: the overdue reports filed inside the thirty days stop the revocation completely. This is the moment to move today, not this month.
The three-year reinstatement window is running from the revocation date. Reinstatement with the missed years settled restores everything, inside the window and only inside it. We price and file the package at once.
He filed every spring, the state wanted March 12
I filed every spring, sometime around when we opened for the season, and called it responsible. Louisiana wanted March 12, the date on my charter, and by the third loose spring the record showed three straight misses and the notice gave me thirty days. We filed everything in nine, and the exact date now files itself. Here, close enough is a status, and the status is: not in good standing.

What is the Louisiana annual report?
A once-a-year filing with the Secretary of State confirming your addresses, registered agent, and officials on the record. We prepare and file it on your exact date as part of annual report service.
When is the Louisiana annual report due?
On the exact anniversary of your formation date, every year, one of the few states that uses the date itself rather than a month-end or season. Date-specific deadlines are the easiest to miss and the easiest to automate, which is why yours belongs on a watched calendar.
How much does the Louisiana annual report cost?
$30 for an LLC, set by statute. When we file it for you, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, as a one-time filing or on the automated annual plan, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, so nothing quoted here can go stale.
What happens if I miss the Louisiana annual report?
One miss drops the record to not in good standing, publicly. Three consecutive unfiled years bring a thirty-day written notice, and silence through it revokes the charter. Reinstatement then stays available for exactly three years from the revocation, after which the door closes permanently.
Is Louisiana reinstatement really time-limited?
Yes: three years from the revocation date, one of the few reinstatement windows in the country that expires. Inside it, the cure is routine, the missed reports and the application together. Past it, the entity is gone and the road back is a new formation. We check the window math before anything else.
Do foreign-registered entities file a Louisiana annual report too?
Yes, on their own anniversary date at the same fee, with revocation of authority playing the role of the domestic charter revocation, on top of home-state filings. Our multi-entity dashboard keeps every state’s exact date straight.
Can File.Business file my Louisiana annual report?
Yes. We read your exact anniversary from the record, prepare the report ahead of it, file on time every year, and verify your standing after it posts, with the state fee, transaction fee, and our service fee itemized up front, one-time or on the automated plan.
