Plan with the details in view
What Are the Main West Virginia LLC Requirements?
Use the correct report year, June 30 cutoff and filing method.
West Virginia Articles of Organization
The statutory base fee for domestic LLC Articles of Organization is $100. Confirm the actual company route and any applicable exception before estimating costs. An LLC formed elsewhere needs the appropriate registration process.
Annual reports received by June 30
The SOS requires annual reports for active LLCs formed on or before December 31 of the previous year that have not terminated or withdrawn. Its fee guidance lists $25 if received by June 30, plus $1 for online processing.
Late total includes the penalty
After June 30, the SOS lists $75, which includes the $50 late fee. The $1 online processing charge is additional. Do not count $75 as another penalty on top of the normal report charge.
How to continue
How Do You Prepare a West Virginia LLC Filing?
Preparing the filing comes down to four steps, from your first details to a confirmed filing.
- 01
Identify formation or the existing company
Tell FormLLC whether you need domestic organization, foreign registration or the next report for an active LLC.
- 02
Prepare the current filing details
Organize office addresses, agent-of-process information and authorized member or manager details.
- 03
Check the reporting year and receipt cutoff
Bring the company record, formation year and any previous report confirmation or delinquency notice.
- 04
Confirm the total and retain the result
Separate the applicable report or late total, online charge and accepted FormLLC support, then keep the confirmation.
Before requesting help
What Details Do You Need for a West Virginia LLC Filing?
Have these details ready before you ask us to help with the filing.
- Proposed company details or the existing West Virginia legal name and entity record.
- Formation or registration year and the report year requested.
- Current addresses, agent of process and authorized member or manager details.
- Previous report confirmations and any late or administrative-status notice.
Know which filing you need
Check the late total before choosing overdue support.
A report receipt cutoff and an administrative-status issue require different checks.
- Correct report year and fee
- Use the actual company year and current record. A late report total already contains its stated late fee; separate processing and provider charges should be identified clearly.
- Company status and operating activity
- If a notice shows dissolution or revocation, check the recovery route before assuming an annual report alone is sufficient. Tax accounts and business permissions are separate from SOS reporting.
Keep the accepted report and any separate company updates with the business records. An annual report is not a tax return.
