About Initial Registration
- An initial registration must be filed within 90 days of incorporation for all new domestic corporations in Georgia.
- This filing updates or confirms your business information with the Georgia Department of State, ensuring your records are current and accurate.
- It is required for all domestic corporations and is not the same as your formation or Articles of Incorporation.
- Failure to file the initial registration may cause your business to fall behind on required annual registrations, resulting in late fees and potential dissolution.
- Initial registration is required only once after business formation. Each year thereafter, businesses are required to file an annual report between January 1 and April 1 to remain in compliance.

- Penalties and risks of non-compliance with posting regulations can lead to potential fines in excess of $7,000 per instance for failure to post federally required information, and could possibly even lead to lawsuits.
