For example, a document submitted by mail with a postmark of July 10, 2009 that is received on July 13, 2009, will be rejected.

In addition to the mandatory online filings listed above, a Statement of Change and a Statement of Correction to change or correct information other than the principal office address or registered agent information will continue to be available for filing on paper.

For your convenience, computer terminals are available in our office that may be used to file documents. However, for security purposes, these computer terminals cannot be used if an attachment is to be included with an online filing. These computers are not equipped to permit the saving of documents on the computer as files may be corrupt or contain viruses without the user’s knowledge. A Statement of Correction Correcting Information for Historical Purposes must contain an attachment and, as a result, cannot be filed using the office’s computers.

Online filings with the Secretary of State's Office are processed through a secure server. For additional information regarding filing online, click here.
