Annual Reports

The Secretary of State encourages business owners to take advantage of filing their company’s annual report through the state’s West Virginia One Stop Business Portal. Online filing saves time and provides immediate and accurate integration of customers’ updates into the Secretary of State’s database. You will also receive an electronic confirmation when any business filing is approved by our office.

WV Code §59-1-2a requires organizations registered through the West Virginia Secretary of State to file an annual report, and pay the annual report $25.00 filing fee between January 1 and June 30 of each year following the calendar year in which the business was registered with the Office of the Secretary of State.
