Annual reports for non-profit and for-profit corporations and limited liability companies registered in Maine are due June 1, 2024. If your company was formed by a filing in 2023, your first report will be due. These reports are very simple and may be completed online. The filing fees are $85 for for-profit companies and $35 for non-profit companies. For the first report, you need the charter number, which you can look up through the provided link, the principal home office address (this is new this year), a brief statement of the character of the business (mine is “Legal Services” for Western Maine Law LLC), and the name and physical address of at least one member, manager, or authorized person. The fee is $85 and can also be paid online.

To find the charter number for your company, you can visit https://apps1.web.maine.gov/nei-sos-icrs/ICRS?MainPage=x and search by the name of your company. Once you find the name of your company and click on it, you can click on “Information Summary” to see the filing date, so you can tell if you need to file an annual report (if the filing date is any time in 2023 or earlier, you do). Once you have the charter number, visit this page to file the annual report: https://apps1.web.maine.gov/cgi-bin/online/aro/index.pl. The website will populate the form for you unless this is the first annual report. You can pay online by credit card.
