The annual report must be filed by an officer of the corporation who is listed in the report's section for officers.
A maximum six officers and six directors may be entered via the web form.
The registered agent and/or registered office cannot be changed via an electronically filed annual report. However, corporations which need to change their registered agent and/or registered office can file a Statement of Change of Registered Agent and/or Registered Office separately using a paper form (BCA 5.10/5.20) after being placed in good standing.
An electronically transmitted annual report will be considered an original filing even if an earlier annual report submitted on paper was returned un-filed for revisions by the Secretary of State. All penalties and interest incurred as of the current date must therefore be paid along with the filing fee and franchise tax at the time of filing.
