New Jersey’s comeback runs through the same online service that watched the charter revoke: $75 for the reinstatement plus $78 for each late annual report, submitted electronically, no paper path exists. The two-strike state restores exactly the way it revoked, quietly, digitally, completely.
Every late annual report at $78, the $75 reinstatement, and any amendments the record needs, all through the online reinstatement service, which begins, fittingly, with the report that started the trouble.
The state side starts at $75 plus $78 per late report for the online reinstatement, plus the back filings and their fees. When we handle it, the total is the state fees plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, one-time, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, with the back filings prepared and the recurring deadline put on autopilot so the lapse never repeats.

Four steps back, and one that keeps you back
New Jersey’s comeback runs in sequence: confirm the status, cure the cause, catch up the filings, then the online reinstatement for $75 plus $78 per late report with the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services. Done in order, standing returns and the record moves on.
Where you stand decides what you do next
Move while the cure is simple: we prepare and file the reinstatement with the back filings caught up, and the company returns with clean standing.
Banks and counterparties see the lapsed status until the cure files, and nothing else about the company has actually changed. The catch-up-plus-application path is the fastest route back to a clean record; we expedite exactly this situation routinely.
The deadline that started this never stops coming. Put the recurring filing on autopilot and the lapse never repeats.
The charter left through a portal, and returned through the same one
The Newark company’s charter revoked after two silent years, and its return ran through the identical online service: back reports at $78 each, the $75 reinstatement, one session. New Jersey’s machine is indifferent in both directions; feed it filings and it complies. The portal never judged us. It just wanted the reports.

How do I reinstate an LLC in New Jersey?
Cure the cause, catch up the filings, and submit the online reinstatement with the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, $75 plus $78 per late report plus the back fees. Standing returns when it is accepted, and the company continues rather than starting over. We handle the whole sequence as part of reinstatement service.
How much does it cost to reinstate a New Jersey LLC?
The application is $75 plus $78 per late report, plus the back filings and their fees, the real total depends on how long the lapse ran. When we handle it, the total is the state fees plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, one-time, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, with the back filings prepared and the recurring deadline put on autopilot so the lapse never repeats.
Does New Jersey require tax clearance to reinstate?
No: New Jersey adds no tax-clearance step to the reinstatement, the application and the back filings carry it. Final accuracy still matters, the state cross-checks what you owe, which is why we prepare the catch-up filings together with the application.
How long do I have to reinstate my New Jersey LLC?
New Jersey does not impose a short statutory window for this cure, but waiting has costs anyway: back fees accumulate, the name loses protection over time, and banks see the lapsed status until the filing lands. The practical deadline is the next moment your standing matters.
Should I reinstate or just form a new LLC?
Reinstate, in most cases: the cure preserves the formation date, the EIN, the contracts, the name, and the history, while a new entity resets all of it and leaves the old company’s loose ends dangling. Re-forming only wins when the back fees exceed the value of continuity, we run that math with you before filing either way.
What should I do after the company is reinstated?
Confirm the standing shows clean on the record, tell the bank and any counterparties who saw the lapse, and put the recurring deadline on autopilot, the filing that started this comes due again on schedule, and the second lapse is never cheaper than the first.
Can File.Business reinstate my New Jersey LLC for me?
Yes: we confirm the status, cure the cause, prepare the back filings, and submit the application, then put the recurring deadline on autopilot so the lapse never repeats. When we handle it, the total is the state fees plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, one-time, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, with the back filings prepared and the recurring deadline put on autopilot so the lapse never repeats.
