Charleston, W. Va. – The WV Secretary of State’s Office has mailed postcard notices to over 89,000 businesses registered in the state of West Virginia that have not yet completed their Annual Report filing. Annual Reports are due by midnight on June 30th.

Businesses that miss the June 30th deadline will be charged a statutory late fee of $50 in addition to the $25 fee required to complete the filing.
