New Jersey LLC Annual Report 2026: $75 Fee, Anniversary-Month Deadline

Due Date and Frequency

The Annual Report is an annual obligation — filed once per year. Every LLC, regardless of size, revenue, or activity level, must file every year to maintain good standing in New Jersey.

The Division of Revenue typically sends reminder notices to the registered agent and/or email address on file. However, receipt of a reminder is not a prerequisite for the filing obligation. It is your LLC's responsibility to file on time regardless of whether a reminder arrives. Because the deadline is tied to your formation month rather than a single statewide date, it is easy to forget — mark the last day of your anniversary month on your business calendar every year.

Annual Report Fee: $75

New Jersey charges a flat $75 annual report fee, and it is the same for every LLC:

One advantage of New Jersey's structure is its simplicity: there is no separate, higher fee for foreign LLCs the way some states impose. Both domestic and foreign LLCs pay the identical $75 annual report fee. Keep in mind this $75 covers the annual report only. New Jersey also imposes separate state tax obligations on LLCs, which are handled through a different filing — those are not part of the annual report and are covered in our New Jersey LLC taxes guide.

What Information Is Required

The New Jersey Annual Report requires you to confirm or update the following information:

• Registered Agent: The name and physical New Jersey street address of your registered agent. If your agent has changed or their address has changed, update it here.
• Principal Business Address: The main business address of your LLC. It must be a physical address rather than a PO Box.
• Business Entity ID: Your New Jersey entity identification number, which you use to locate your record in the filing system.
• Effective Date of Changes (if any): If you are reporting changes to your registered agent or address since last year, note when those changes took effect.

You are not required to submit financial statements, revenue figures, tax information, employee counts, or details about your business operations through the annual report. It is purely an administrative confirmation and update filing.

Step-by-Step: How to File the Annual Report Online

Filing your New Jersey LLC Annual Report online takes only a few minutes. Here is the step-by-step process:

1. Confirm your anniversary month and deadline
   Before you start, find your LLC's formation or registration date. Your report is due by the last day of that month each year. Make sure you file on or before that date to avoid the $25 late fee.
2. Go to njportal.com/DOR/BusinessFormation
   Navigate to the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services online portal and select the annual report filing option.
3. Enter your Business Entity ID
   Provide your New Jersey entity identification number to locate your LLC's record. Confirm this is your entity before proceeding.
4. Review and update your information
   Confirm or update your registered agent name and address and your principal business address. Make any necessary corrections before proceeding.
5. Submit and pay the $75 fee
   Review your information one final time, then pay the $75 fee by credit or debit card. The portal processes payment immediately.
6. Save your confirmation
   After payment, you will receive immediate online confirmation that your Annual Report was accepted. Print or save this confirmation as proof of filing. The State updates your LLC's status to reflect the current year's filing.

What Happens If You Miss the Deadline

Missing your anniversary-month Annual Report deadline triggers escalating consequences:

The simplest way to avoid all of this is to file on time. Because New Jersey's deadline is anniversary-based rather than a single statewide date, set a recurring calendar reminder two weeks before the last day of your formation month so you always file before the deadline.

How to Reinstate a Revoked LLC in New Jersey

If your New Jersey LLC has been revoked or administratively dissolved for missed annual reports, reinstatement is possible. Here is the general process:

1. File all overdue Annual Reports
   You must bring all missed Annual Reports current. Pay the $75 fee for each year missed, plus the $25 late fee and any other amounts that have accrued.
2. Complete the reinstatement process
   Submit your reinstatement through the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services and pay the applicable reinstatement fee. Confirm the current fee schedule directly with the Division, as reinstatement costs can vary.
3. Confirm your registered agent is current
   Ensure your registered agent information is accurate and up to date at the time of reinstatement filing.
4. Await State approval
   The Division will review your reinstatement and, if all requirements are met, restore your LLC to good standing. You will receive confirmation once reinstatement is complete.

Note that during the period of revocation, your LLC could not legally enter contracts or sue in New Jersey courts. Any contracts entered during the revoked period may be voidable. If significant business was conducted during revocation, consult a New Jersey business attorney about potential exposure.
