What this survey covers
An inactive corporation does not have one universal cure. Some states provide an administrative reinstatement after missed reports, fees, or registered-agent defaults. Others treat the charter as forfeited or void and require a certificate of revival. A finite filing window may apply, or current law may permit revival at any time.
This survey compares the route for an ordinary domestic business corporation. It keeps the filing window separate from the arrears, the filing document separate from internal authorization, and relation back separate from third-party and license consequences.
Three different statutory structures
Florida uses an administrative-reinstatement model. Section 607.1422 says an eligible dissolved corporation “may apply to the department for reinstatement at any time after the effective date of dissolution.” It permits either the prescribed application or a current annual report, requires both registered-agent and officer- or-director signatures, and preserves rights arising from reliance on the dissolution before notice of reinstatement. Fla. Stat. § 607.1422 (accessed 2026-08-02).
Delaware uses charter revival. Its current § 312, effective August 1, 2026, says a forfeited or void corporation “may at any time procure a revival of its certificate of incorporation.” A board-authorized and acknowledged certificate identifies the charter, inactive date, registered office and agent, and any replacement name. Filing validates corporate acts during the void period and restores undisposed and later-acquired property. 8 Del. C. § 312 (accessed 2026-08-02).
Virginia has a finite commission-order route. Section 13.1-754 permits application “within five years” after corporate existence ceased, requires a $100 fixed fee, registration-fee arrears and penalties, a current report, and any necessary name or agent cure. The Commission's reinstatement order makes existence continue as if termination never occurred. Va. Code § 13.1-754 (accessed 2026-08-02).
What the finished table shows
An absolute filing cutoff is not the majority pattern. Many jurisdictions state no outside limit or preserve a later or alternate route. Where a hard limit applies, the spread is wide: Alaska and Wyoming use two years, Idaho uses ten years, and Rhode Island uses twenty years. Vermont states no outside reinstatement cutoff but lets another corporation take the old name after five years of report delinquency. Alaska Stat. § 10.06.633, Wyo. Stat. § 17-16-1422, Idaho Code § 30-21-603, R.I. Gen. Laws § 7-1.2-1312, and 11A V.S.A. § 14.20 (accessed 2026-08-02).
The cure amount is usually more than the price labeled “reinstatement.” Alaska requires double the delinquent amount plus what would have been paid during the dissolution period. Delaware changes to a three-times-current-franchise-tax formula after more than five years void. Vermont charges the $60 annual-report fee plus a $50 reinstatement fee for each missed year. Wyoming separates the $100 report/tax route from the $250 registered-agent route. Alaska Stat. § 10.06.633, 8 Del. C. § 312, 11A V.S.A. § 1.22, and Wyo. Stat. § 17-16-1422 (accessed 2026-08-02).
The dominant legal effect is relation back or continuous existence as though the inactive period had not occurred. That rule still needs its own column because the exceptions matter. Florida, the District of Columbia, North Carolina, Washington, and Wisconsin preserve specified reliance-based rights. North Dakota's missed- report route expressly leaves gap-period rights and liability unaffected, while ordinary Alaska reinstatement states no general relation-back rule at all. Fla. Stat. § 607.1422, D.C. Code § 29-106.03, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 55-14-22, RCW § 23.95.615, Wis. Stat. § 180.1422, N.D. Cent. Code § 10-19.1-146, and Alaska Stat. § 10.06.633 (accessed 2026-08-02).
Why arrears and the fixed filing fee are different columns
The price on a fee schedule is rarely the whole amount due. Florida's statute sets a $600 reinstatement-application charge, while § 607.1422 separately requires every fee and penalty then owed at current rates. Delaware can substitute a special three-times-current-franchise-tax formula after more than five years void. Virginia adds its $100 reinstatement fee to accumulated annual registration fees and penalties. The table therefore isolates the fixed filing charge from the entity's variable cure amount.
How to read the table
Start with inactive status and filing window. A corporation outside the named status or deadline may need a different statutory route or a new entity rather than the form labeled “reinstatement.”
Then compare the document, arrears, name/agent cure, and authorization columns. They answer what must be corrected, which internal actor may approve the cure, who signs, and which agency receives it.
Finally, read legal effect carefully. “Relates back” can validate corporate existence without erasing an express third-party protection or resolving a separate license, contract, tax, lawsuit, limitations, or personal-liability question. Each state page supplies the current official text behind the table row.

| State | Eligible inactive status | Filing window | Application or certificate contents | Reports, taxes, fees, and penalties | Name and registered-agent cure | Approval and signature | Filing office and method | Fixed filing fee and expediting | Legal effect and third parties |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alabama verified 2026-08-02 | No current general administrative-dissolution reinstatement route for a business corporation; former § 10A-2-14.22 is repealed. A proceeding or dissolution begun before repeal may remain preserved (§ 10A-2A-18.03) |
No current surveyed filing window. Former law used 2 years; any preserved pre-repeal matter remains governed by the legacy statute. The current 120-day window concerns voluntary dissolution only (§§ 10A-2-14.22, 10A-2A-14.04) |
N/A—no current general application for the surveyed status. Former § 10A-2-14.22 required name/address, dissolution date, cure and name statements, and a Revenue tax-paid certificate |
N/A—no current general surveyed cure. The former route required a Department of Revenue certificate that all corporate taxes were paid (§ 10A-2-14.22(a)(4), repealed) |
N/A—no current general surveyed filing. The former route required a compliant name; current voluntary-dissolution revocation has its own name rule (§§ 10A-2-14.22(a)(3), 10A-2A-14.04(f)) |
N/A—no current general surveyed filing. Section 10A-2A-14.04's board/stockholder authorization rules apply to revoking voluntary dissolution, not administrative reinstatement |
N/A—current law states no general filing method for the surveyed status. A preserved pre-repeal record requires entity-specific confirmation under § 10A-2A-18.03 |
N/A—no fixed current filing fee or expedite tier for a general administrative reinstatement route appears in the current Business Corporation Law |
N/A for the surveyed route. Former law supplied relation back; current § 10A-2A-14.04 separately gives voluntary-dissolution revocation retroactive effect while protecting reliance rights |
| Alaska verified 2026-08-02 | Domestic business corporation involuntarily dissolved by the commissioner for a listed report, tax, agent, filing, board-vacancy, misrepresentation, or change-notice default; voluntary and judicial dissolution are outside this route (§ 10.06.633(a), (e)) |
Within 2 years after the certificate of involuntary dissolution. The anytime exception is limited to an Alaska Native village corporation and is outside this survey (§§ 10.06.633(e), 10.06.960(k)) |
No fixed reinstatement-application fields stated. Establish no cause existed or cure the stated default; current agency guidance begins with an email giving the entity name and Alaska entity number (§§ 10.06.633(e), .868; official guidance) |
Correct the default and pay double the delinquent amount plus what the corporation would have paid during the dissolution period. Domestic biennial tax is $100, with a $25-per-year-or-part late penalty (§§ 10.06.633(e), .845) |
If the old name is unavailable, file an articles amendment to a compliant name. If agent/office failure caused dissolution, cure it; an entity-filed agent change states six items, is board-authorized, and is signed by the president or vice-president (§§ 10.06.165, .633(e)) |
No reinstatement-specific board/shareholder vote or named signer stated in § 10.06.633(e). A required agent-change statement is board-authorized and president/vice-president signed; other current cure documents control (§§ 10.06.165, .633(e), .868) |
Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development, through the commissioner/Corporations Section. Current guidance starts by email with the entity name and Alaska entity number; forms are furnished on request (§§ 10.06.633(e), .868) |
No reinstatement-specific charge stated; an otherwise unspecified AS 10.06 document costs $25. If the commissioner offers expedited filing, the additional fee is $150 (3 AAC 16.030(b), 16.105) |
Ordinary § 10.06.633(e) reinstates but states no general relation-back, interim-act validation, or third-party rule. Current law expressly gives those effects only to the excluded Native-village route (§ 10.06.960(k)) |
| Arizona verified 2026-08-02 | Administrative dissolution after notice and a 60-day cure for Title 10 defaults involving fees, reports, agent/office, publication, duration, disclosures, misrepresentation, interrogatories, or dissolution duties (§§ 10-1420-.1421) |
Within 6 years after the effective date of administrative dissolution (§ 10-1422(A)) |
Application recites corporation name and effective dissolution date and states that each ground did not exist or was eliminated; attach name amendment if § 10-1422(D) applies |
Eliminate every ground, submit outstanding annual reports and pay associated fees/penalties; annual report fee is $45 and reinstatement is additional. No separate tax-clearance certificate is stated (§§ 10-122(A), 10-1422(A); official FAQ) |
If another corporation or trade-name registrant adopted the name, attach articles of amendment adopting a compliant new name; restore any statutory-agent/known-place default, using agent acceptance for a replacement (§§ 10-501, 10-1422(D); official agent instructions) |
Chairman, president, or another officer executes; a court-appointed receiver/trustee/fiduciary may sign when applicable. State signer name/capacity; no seal, secretary attestation, acknowledgment, verification, or proof required (§ 10-120(F)-(G)) |
Arizona Corporation Commission; current online route is the Arizona Business Center dashboard's Reinstate option for an entity dissolved within 6 years. Statute also permits fax/electronic delivery (§ 10-120(J); official tip sheet) |
$100 regular reinstatement; $135 total standard expedited. Current schedule also lists $100 next-day, $200 same-day, and $400 two-hour accelerated charges, subject to availability (§ 10-122; official fee schedule) |
Relates back to the administrative-dissolution effective date and business resumes as if dissolution never occurred; § 10-1422(C) states no separate third-party-reliance carveout |
| Arkansas verified 2026-08-02 | Two routes: a domestic corporation administratively dissolved after the statutory notice/cure process for a franchise-tax, report, registered-agent, or duration ground; or a charter declared revoked and forfeited by the franchise-tax proclamation (§§ 4-27-1420-.1422; §§ 26-54-111 to -112) |
Administrative-dissolution application: within 2 years after the dissolution effective date. Franchise-tax charter reinstatement: not allowed after 5 years from the revoked-and-forfeited charter date. A denial of the first route has a separate 30-day Pulaski County Circuit Court appeal (§§ 4-27-1422-.1423; § 26-54-112) |
Administrative route: corporation name, dissolution effective date, statement that every ground did not exist or was eliminated, § 4-27-401-compliant name, and one or more certificates from appropriate state taxing authorities that all corporate taxes are paid. Tax-forfeiture route: file every delinquent franchise report satisfactory to the Secretary of State (§ 4-27-1422; § 26-54-112) |
Administrative route requires tax-clearance certificates and proof of franchise-tax, license-fee, and penalty payment. Tax-forfeiture route requires all delinquent reports and every year's taxes and penalties. Current corporation tax is at least $150 with stock or $300 without stock; the current report shows a $25 late penalty plus interest (§ 4-27-120; § 26-54-112; official 2026 report) |
The administrative application states that the name satisfies § 4-27-401 and must eliminate any registered-agent ground; the current franchise report also requires current agent information. The tax-forfeiture statute states no separate name-change filing and restores the corporation as though its name had never been declared revoked (§§ 4-27-1420, 4-27-1422; § 26-54-112(c)(2)) |
Administrative application follows the general filing rule: chair, president, another officer, qualifying incorporator, or court fiduciary signs and states capacity; no seal, attestation, acknowledgment, verification, or proof is required. Current franchise reports use a perjury declaration signed by an officer, controller, authorized person, or tax preparer (§ 4-27-120; official 2026 report) |
Arkansas Secretary of State, Business and Commercial Services. The administrative application is delivered with one exact/conformed copy, fee, and proof of required payment; the live forms page does not expose a dedicated reinstatement form/link, so confirm the current paper route with BCS. Franchise reports may be filed online or signed in black ink and mailed (§ 4-27-120; official pages/report) |
$50 application for reinstatement following administrative dissolution; certificate of reinstatement has no fee. The franchise-tax charter route states no separate fixed reinstatement fee, but all report/tax/penalty arrears and any online processing charge remain due. No reinstatement-specific expedite tier is stated (§ 4-27-122; official schedules) |
Administrative reinstatement relates back to the dissolution date and resumes business as if dissolution never occurred. Franchise-tax reinstatement is retroactive to revocation, restores rights, powers, and property, and leaves the corporation as if its name had never been declared revoked. No express third-party-reliance exception is stated (§ 4-27-1422(c); § 26-54-112) |
| California verified 2026-08-02 | Domestic stock corporation suspended by SOS for Statement of Information default (§ 2205) or by FTB for tax/return default (§§ 23301, 23305); completed administrative dissolution under § 2205.5 is outside this revivor route |
No general outside limit stated while merely suspended, but after 60 continuous months of FTB suspension: object within SOS's 60-day notice, then cure and apply within 90 days; FTB may allow one further period of up to 90 days (§ 2205.5(a), (d), (g)) |
SOS cure uses current § 1502 statement; FTB Form 3557 BC requests entity name/address and numbers, applicant name/title/signature/date/phone, and a request stating required payments, returns, or documents were submitted |
SOS route: current Statement of Information and any $250 delinquency penalty; FTB route: all required returns plus every tax, addition, penalty, interest, and other amount due (§§ 19141, 2205(d), 23305) |
FTB obtains SOS endorsement that the name meets § 201(b); unavailable name requires amendment or another SOS-approved resolution. The § 1502 statement designates a compliant service-of-process agent (§§ 1502(b), 23305a; official FAQ) |
FTB application may be made by any stockholder or creditor, a majority of surviving trustees/directors, an officer, or another interested person; § 1502 statement must certify its information is true and correct (§§ 1502(j), 23305) |
File SOS Statement of Information through bizfile Online (web User Access required as of Aug. 1, 2026); file FTB revivor request online, by mail on Form 3557 BC, or by qualifying office walk-through (official agency instructions) |
$25 SOS stock-corporation statement fee; optional SOS online 24-hour $350 or same-day $750 service. No separate FTB revivor application fee is listed; entity-specific liabilities remain due (official agency materials) |
SOS statement can relieve SOS suspension but not a separate FTB hold. FTB certificate reinstates without prejudice to accrued actions, defenses, or rights; contract voidability needs separate § 23305.1 relief (§§ 2205(d), 23304.1, 23305a) |
| Colorado verified 2026-08-17 | Ordinary fee, report, or registered-agent defaults produce delinquent status while existence continues; cure under § 7-90-904. A domestic corporation actually dissolved after a constituent filing may use Part 10; judicial routes are outside this survey (§§ 7-90-901, -903, -1001) |
No outside cure or reinstatement cutoff stated. At 5 years delinquent or 2 years dissolved, affidavit/photo-ID rules begin; after 3 years delinquent, a manager may cause dissolution after notice (§§ 7-90-903 to -904, -908, -1003) |
Delinquency statement: principal office and agent name/address. Reinstatement articles: former/new names, formation date, former governing statute, § 7-90-1002 compliance, principal office, and agent; older/unknown track adds dissolution date if known, affidavit, and ID (§§ 7-90-904, -1003) |
No general tax clearance or back-report bundle is stated. Delinquency may arise from an unpaid Title 7 fee/penalty, missed report, or agent default, but § 7-90-904 cures through the current statement; special creditor/attorney-general dissolution conditions remain separate (§§ 7-90-901, -904, -1002) |
Both filings state current agent information and the official forms require agent consent. An unavailable delinquent name gains 'delinquency cured' plus the effective date; an unavailable dissolved name gains 'reinstated' plus the articles' effective date (§§ 7-90-904(4), -1004; official instructions) |
Delinquency statement is signed by an individual under penalty of perjury; at 5 years add authority affidavit and photo ID. Reinstatement needs the governing-document or dissolution-level vote/consent, an individual causing delivery, and at 2 years an authority affidavit and ID (§§ 7-90-904, -1002 to -1003) |
Colorado Secretary of State, online through the entity record; paper is not available. Ordinary online filings post in real time, while 5-year delinquency and 2-year dissolution submissions receive acceptance review (official forms and FAQs) |
$100 online for either Reinstatement or Statement Curing Delinquency. No online expedite tier; submissions requiring affidavit/ID review are handled in received order. Failed or reversed payment means no successful filing (§§ 7-90-303(5), -904, -1003; official sources) |
Delinquency cure ends the collection-suit disability without a break in existence. Reinstatement deems existence uninterrupted and liabilities determined as if no dissolution, but preserves rights arising from reliance before notice (§§ 7-90-903, -1005) |
| Connecticut verified 2026-08-02 | Corporation administratively dissolved after an annual report was over 1 year late or its registered agent was missing or unfindable, following emailed notice and a 3-month cure period (§§ 33-890, 33-892); not the voluntary-dissolution route |
No statutory outside limit; an administratively dissolved corporation may apply after the effective dissolution date (§ 33-892(a)); the former 3-year limit was deleted in 1996 |
Application recites the corporation name and is filed with the current annual report; current combined form also requires exact name/ALEI, NAICS and email, addresses, agent acceptance, officers/directors, and execution (§ 33-892(a); current R92025 form) |
Pay all penalties and forfeitures, file the current-year annual report ($150), and obtain current Revenue Services and unemployment statements showing paid, not liable, or adequately provided; each statement is excused if its agency does not issue it within 5 weeks (§§ 33-617(a)(12), 33-892(a)(3)) |
Unavailable name requires a simultaneous certificate amendment identifying an available name; application includes a registered-agent appointment, and the current form requires the agent's signed acceptance (§ 33-892(a)(2)-(3); current R92025 form) |
No separate board vote stated. Statutory signers are board chair, president, another officer, a qualifying incorporator, or court fiduciary; the ordinary current form additionally requires its signer to be a listed officer/director and includes a false-statement declaration. No acknowledgment or notary required (§ 33-608(f)-(g); current R92025 form) |
File with the Secretary of the State through the online Reinstatement workflow or the combined paper form; digital submission is strongly recommended, while mail or hand delivery is accepted as routine service (§§ 33-608(i), 33-892(a); official filing instructions) |
$150 reinstatement fee; the required $150 current annual report makes the ordinary combined stock-corporation filing $300 before variable arrears. If offered in the online/digital process, 24-hour expedite costs $50; no mail expedite (§ 33-617(a)(12), (15); current R92025 form) |
Relates back to the administrative-dissolution date; corporation resumes business as if dissolution never occurred. No express third-party-reliance exception (§ 33-892(c)) |
| Delaware verified 2026-08-02 | Domestic stock corporation whose certificate became void or forfeited under Title 8, commonly for annual-report/franchise-tax default or agent forfeiture (§§ 312, 510; Division forms). Excludes § 284 revocation/forfeiture; voluntary dissolution and stated-duration expiration use distinct § 311 restoration |
Any time after a Title 8 forfeiture or voiding (§ 312(b)); § 312 states no outside deadline |
Acknowledged Certificate of Revival: original incorporation filing date/name; name at forfeiture/voiding and any required new name; Delaware registered office/agent; Delaware-organization statement; status date or questioned-revival statement; board-authority statement (§ 312(c)-(d)) |
File applicable annual franchise-tax reports and pay taxes due. Up to 5 years void/forfeited: taxes, penalties, and interest due at status loss; over 5 years: 3× the current annual franchise tax replaces the otherwise-required taxes and penalties. Revival-year tax remains separate (§ 312(g)) |
Certificate states a current Delaware registered office and agent. If another Delaware or qualified foreign corporation took the same or nondistinguishable name, revive under a different name stated in the certificate (§ 312(d), (f)) |
Majority of directors then in office, even below quorum, or sole director authorizes. If none are available, stockholders elect a full board. Authorized officer signs; acknowledgment may be formal before an authorized officer or supplied by signature under penalty of perjury (§§ 103, 312(h)) |
File with Delaware Division of Corporations, Secretary of State. Upload service is submission-only, not direct online filing; mail is also accepted. Include cover memo, payment, and legible 8.5×11-inch document (Division submission guide) |
$189 posted Certificate of Revival fee for a 1-page document, +$9 each added page; posted optional fees: $100 24-hour, $200 same-day, $500 2-hour, $1,000 1-hour. Current § 391 permits higher expedite ceilings, so confirm the live quote |
Revival treats the charter as continuously effective, validates in-scope interim contracts and acts, vests undisposed and later-acquired property/rights, and makes the corporation exclusively liable for covered interim acts (§ 312(e)); no express general third-party carveout |
| District of Columbia verified 2026-08-02 | Domestic business corporation administratively dissolved for a fee/penalty more than 5 months late, a biennial report more than 5 months late, or no District registered agent for 60 days (§§ 29-106.01 to -106.03) |
No outside reinstatement deadline stated; apply after administrative dissolution under § 29-106.02. The entity continues only to wind up, liquidate, or apply for reinstatement while dissolved (§§ 29-106.02(c), -106.03) |
Signed application: name at dissolution and compliant different name if needed; principal-office address; registered-agent name/address; dissolution effective date; and statement that each ground did not exist or was cured (§ 29-106.03(a); Form GN-5) |
Pay every fee and penalty due at dissolution plus every fee and penalty that would have been due while dissolved. GN-5 confirms biennial report filed, agent appointed, and Title 29 charges paid (§ 29-106.03(b); GN-5) |
Application may supply a different compliant name if the former name is unavailable and must state current agent name/address. GN-5 confirms the agent has been appointed (§ 29-106.03(a); GN-5) |
Application is signed by the entity; GN-5 calls for a governor or authorized person. Signing affirms material truth, and an agent/legal representative affirms authority; no notarization stated (§§ 29-106.03(a), 29-102.09; GN-5) |
Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection, Corporations Division. File GN-5 through CorpOnline with Access DC and card payment, or mail the paper form and payment to the form's listed address (GN-5; official FAQ) |

X-4 is certified and signed by at least 1 corporate officer, with printed name, office title, and capacity; no seal, attestation, acknowledgment, verification, or proof is required (§ 414-11). A duration-extension amendment ordinarily requires board proposal and shareholder approval (§ 414-283) |
Deliver Form X-4 and attachments to DCCA Business Registration Division. BREG accepts email, mail, and fax filings and recommends its online portal when the filing is available there |
$25 nonrefundable X-4 fee; optional $25 special handling for corporation documents other than conversion or merger (§ 414-13). A separate duration-extension articles amendment also has a $25 filing fee |
Administrative reinstatement relates back to dissolution and resumes business as if dissolution never occurred (§ 414-403(c)); a timely duration amendment likewise resumes business as if expiration never occurred (§ 414-402(f)). Neither provision states a third-party-reliance exception |
| Idaho verified 2026-08-02 | Domestic filing entity administratively dissolved under § 30-21-602 for a missed annual report, 60 consecutive days without a registered agent, or a 60-day failure to report that the agent changed or resigned (§ 30-21-601); not voluntary or judicial dissolution |
No later than 10 years after the effective date of administrative dissolution (§ 30-21-603(a)); the section authorizes no filing after that deadline |
Signed application states the name at dissolution and any needed compliant replacement name; principal-office address; commercial-agent name or noncommercial-agent/office information; effective dissolution date; and that the grounds did not exist or were cured |
Pay all SOS fees, taxes, interest, and penalties due at dissolution plus every amount that would have been due while dissolved; cure the missed annual report or agent filing that caused dissolution (§ 30-21-603(b)) |
Old name or a different name must satisfy § 30-21-301; names of entities dissolved more than 6 months may be reused. Application supplies current agent information, and an agent designation affirms the agent consented (§ 30-21-404) |
Application is signed by the entity through an authorized signer; filing states each signer's name and capacity. No seal, attestation, acknowledgment, verification, board approval, or shareholder approval is required by the filing provisions (§§ 30-21-201, 30-21-603) |
Idaho Secretary of State through the SOSBiz account and entity record; paper reinstatement is available by request for Idaho entities, by mail or hand delivery, with the manual-processing surcharge |
$30 application fee; add $40 for evidence of filing within 8 working hours or $100 for same-working-day service requested before 1 p.m. Mountain. Paper/manual filing adds $20 when the filing is available online (§ 30-21-214) |
Relates back and resumes activities as if dissolution never occurred, but does not affect rights arising from an act or omission taken in reliance on dissolution before the person knew or had notice of reinstatement (§ 30-21-603(d)) |
| Illinois verified 2026-08-02 | Domestic corporation administratively dissolved under § 12.40 for a § 12.35 ground; separate articles-amendment revival for expiration of a stated duration (§ 10.05(b)) |
Administrative route: no outside deadline stated after certificate of dissolution. Expired-duration route: within 5 years after expiration (§§ 10.05(b), 12.45(a)) |
Administrative application: dissolution-time name, available new name if needed, dissolution-certificate date, registered office and agent. Duration revival amendment: expiration date, new duration, and continuous-operation statement (§§ 10.30, 12.45) |
Administrative route requires all reports then due or later becoming due and all fees, franchise taxes, and penalties due; annual reports include office, agent, officers/directors, shares, paid-in capital, and allocation data (§§ 12.45, 14.05) |
Unavailable name requires a separately effective articles amendment; changed agent or office requires a separate § 5.10 statement authorized by the board (§§ 5.10, 10.30, 12.45(b)) |
Duplicate administrative application is ink-signed and verified under § 1.10 by a listed officer or statutory substitute; signature alone may affirm under perjury instead of formal acknowledgment. Duration revival uses the applicable articles-amendment approval route (§§ 1.10, 10.20) |
Illinois Secretary of State, Department of Business Services; deliver original signed application plus 1 true copy and all amounts due. Expedite is in person or, at SOS discretion, electronic (§§ 1.10, 12.45, 15.95) |
Administrative reinstatement $200 + optional $100 expedite; expired-duration articles amendment $50 + optional $100 expedite. Separate agent change is $25 (§§ 15.10, 15.95) |
Both routes deem existence uninterrupted and ratify acts valid but for inactivity. Administrative reinstatement removes personal liability caused solely by dissolved status; duration revival preserves existing claims, suits, and nonshareholder rights (§§ 10.35, 12.45) |
| Indiana verified 2026-08-02 | Domestic filing entity administratively dissolved after a 60-day fee/tax, biennial-report, agent, or agent/office-notice default; written notice and another 60-day cure normally precede dissolution (§§ 23-0.5-6-1 to -2) |
Apply within 5 years under the ordinary route; applications more than 5 years after dissolution are also allowed with a reason-for-reinstatement and intended-future-activities statement. Current text states no final outside limit (§ 23-0.5-6-3(a)-(b)) |
Name at dissolution and compliant replacement if needed; principal-office street address; agent name/address; dissolution date; cured/nonexistent grounds; DOR clearance. Later-than-5-year filing adds reason and intended activities (§ 23-0.5-6-3(a)-(b)) |
DOR Certificate of Clearance; every outstanding Business Entity Report and fee; all SOS fees, taxes, interest, and penalties due at dissolution and amounts that would have accrued while dissolved (§ 23-0.5-6-3(d); Form 4160) |
Use a name satisfying § 23-0.5-3-1; if unavailable, submit Articles of Amendment. State current agent/address; when agent information is required on Form 4160, represent that the named agent consented (§ 23-0.5-6-3(a); Form 4160) |
Application is signed by the entity; Form 4160 uses a governing person/authorized representative and verifies under perjury. If applicant is not listed as a governing person, attach a notarized permission affidavit signed by a governing person or entity attorney (§ 23-0.5-6-3(c)) |
Indiana Secretary of State, Business Services Division. Current Form 4160 instructs submission of the original paper filing and payment to the Indianapolis office; § 23-0.5-2-1 permits hand, mail, or Secretary-approved electronic transmission |
$30 application fee. Outstanding reports and charges, clearance work, any name amendment, and other cure filings are additional; no reinstatement expedite tier is stated in current Form 4160 |
Relates back to the administrative-dissolution date and activities resume as if dissolution never occurred; rights arising from reliance before knowledge or notice of reinstatement are preserved (§ 23-0.5-6-3(f)) |
| Iowa verified 2026-08-02 | Domestic corporation administratively dissolved after an ordinary 60-days-late fee/tax/report or agent/office default, unreported agent/office change, or expired duration, followed by notice and 60 days to cure (§§ 490.1420-.1421). Current 2026 law also permits immediate dissolution after a corporation concedes a violation in fraud-related interrogatories (2026 Iowa Acts ch. 1145) |
No outside deadline; apply at any time after the administrative-dissolution effective date. Five years changes the name requirement, not eligibility (§ 490.1422(1)-(2)) |
Application states name at dissolution, dissolution effective date, and that each ground did not exist or was eliminated; if received more than 5 years later, state a § 490.401-compliant name. Current form also states the reinstated name and signer title (§ 490.1422(1); form 635_2001) |
Eliminate each ground and pay required charges. For report-based dissolution, paper form requires at least the 2 most recent delinquent biennial reports and all delinquent fees; Fast Track supplies the required reports and says only the 2 most recent are needed after 5 years. For-profit biennial reports are $60 each (§§ 490.122, 490.1420-.1422; official form/tutorial) |
Within 5 years the corporation retains its name. After 5 years state a compliant name; if different, the reinstatement certificate itself amends the articles. Agent/office default requires a current agent and office plus statement of change; duration expiration requires amendment or restatement (§ 490.1422(1)-(2); current form) |
No separate board/shareholder approval stated. Chair, president, another officer, qualifying incorporator, or court fiduciary signs and states name/capacity; no seal, attestation, acknowledgment, verification, or notary required. Fast Track accepts a typed signature with selected title (§ 490.120(6)-(7); official tutorial) |
Iowa Secretary of State; file online through Fast Track Filing (Business Filings → File a Document → Existing Entities → Application for Reinstatement) or deliver one copy of form 635_2001 to the Secretary of State |
$5 reinstatement application, plus cure costs. Current optional expedite surcharges for Chapter 490 filings: $200 one-hour, $125 same-day, $50 two-day, or $15 five-day service (Iowa Code §§ 9.11, 490.122; 2026 SF 629 effective July 1, 2026) |
Relates back to the administrative-dissolution effective date as if dissolution never occurred; no express third-party-reliance exception (§ 490.1422(3)) |
| Kansas verified 2026-08-02 | Domestic corporation whose articles became forfeited or void under the Kansas code, including common information-report or resident-agent forfeitures; also a questioned prior revival. Excludes articles revoked or forfeited under § 17-6812 for misuse, abuse, or nonuse of corporate powers (§ 17-7002(b); official reinstatement page) |
No outside deadline; a qualifying corporation may procure revival at any time (§ 17-7002(b)) |
Certificate states original articles filing date; name at forfeiture and any required new name; Kansas registered-office postal address and resident agent; due organization under the original state law; forfeiture/void date or questioned revival; and board/governing-body filing authority. Form RR also requires the Kansas business ID (§ 17-7002(d); Form RR) |
File every past-due business entity information report for the immediately preceding 10 years and all fees/penalties. Reports are biennial, so the current form caps ordinary for-profit catch-up at 5 reports and prices each paper report at $110; no tax-clearance certificate is stated (§§ 17-7002(g), 17-7503; Form RR) |
Certificate supplies a current Kansas resident agent and street-address registered office. If the former name is unavailable, current Form RR permits either written consent to use a similar name under § 17-7918 or revival under a new distinguishable name; the certificate identifies the resulting name (§ 17-7002(d), (f); Form RR) |
Board authorization required. A majority of directors then in office—even less than a quorum—or the sole director may approve. If no director is available, stockholders may elect a full board under the bylaws and that board approves. An authorized person signs Form RR under penalty of perjury (§ 17-7002(c), (h); Form RR) |
Kansas Secretary of State; paper-only Form RR mailed with every missed paper information report and all fees in one package. The agency will not process documents submitted separately (official reinstatement page and Form RR) |
$35 revival filing fee. Add $85 when forfeiture resulted from missed information reports, plus $110 per missed report, for current totals of $230 with 1 report through $670 with 5. Agent-only forfeiture may omit the $85 penalty. No revival-specific expedite tier is stated (Form RR) |
Revival operates as if articles never became forfeited/void; validates contracts and acts within the articles' scope; vests undisposed pre-forfeiture and post-forfeiture property; and makes the corporation exclusively liable for acts done in its name before revival. Disposed property and acts outside the articles are not promised restoration/validation; no express third-party-reliance exception is stated (§ 17-7002(e)) |
| Kentucky verified 2026-08-02 | Domestic business corporation administratively dissolved after an annual-report, registered-office/agent, change-notice, or other organic-law default (§§ 14A.1-070, 14A.7-010 to -020); voluntary and judicial dissolution use other routes |

Approve through a director/officer on the last pre-termination annual report or a later shareholder-elected director; eligible officer/director signs both articles and report. No notary or oath stated (§ 12:1-1444(B), (D)) |
Louisiana Secretary of State; deliver articles of reinstatement and an annual report for filing. The statute does not prescribe a specific online, mail, fax, or paper-form channel (§ 12:1-1444(D)) |
$75 articles + $30 for each chargeable annual report through Sept. 30, 2026; $95 + $35 beginning Oct. 1, 2026. Optional expedite: $50 wait/$30 24-hour now; $60/$35 on Oct. 1 (§ 49:222; 2026 Act 921) |

Ordinary and late reinstatement relate back to dissolution and resume business as if dissolution never occurred (§§ 1422(3), 1426(3)), with no express third-party carveout. Limited revival ends after the approved purpose period and returns the corporation to its prior status (§ 1425) |
| Maryland verified 2026-08-02 | Charter repealed, annulled, and forfeited by SDAT proclamation for unpaid State taxes, unemployment contributions/reimbursements, or a missed annual report; judicial public-interest forfeiture is a separate court route (§§ 3-503, 3-507, 3-513) |

| Michigan verified 2026-08-20 | Two routes: automatic dissolution 60 days after 2 years of annual-report, fee, or penalty delinquency; or expiration of the stated corporate term if no § 851 proceeding is pending (§§ 815, 922, 925) |

| Minnesota verified 2026-08-02 | Domestic Chapter 302A corporation administratively dissolved by the Secretary of State for failing to file an annual renewal (§ 302A.821, subd. 4(a)-(b)); voluntary and judicial dissolutions use other routes |

Voluntary and judicial dissolution use different routes (§§ 79-4-14.20-.22) |
No outside deadline; an eligible corporation may apply at any time after the administrative-dissolution effective date. A denial has a separate 30-day chancery-court appeal (§§ 79-4-14.22-.23) |
Application recites corporation name and administrative-dissolution effective date, states every ground did not exist or was eliminated, states the name satisfies § 79-4-4.01, and contains a Mississippi Department of Revenue certificate that all corporate taxes are paid. Current portal also starts with the business ID and electronic clearance attachment (§ 79-4-14.22; official FAQ) |

Application states a § 79-4-4.01-compliant name. A 60-day registered-agent lapse or unreported agent change/resignation must be eliminated; the agency handles agent changes as an online amendment rather than a separate paper form (§§ 79-4-14.20, 79-4-14.22; official FAQ) |

| Montana verified 2026-08-02 | Domestic corporation administratively dissolved after uncured fee, annual-report, registered-agent/office, notice, or stated-duration grounds (§§ 35-14-1420 to -1422); not the voluntary or judicial route |
Within 5 years after the effective administrative-dissolution date (§ 35-14-1422(1)); no ordinary statutory reinstatement after that deadline |

| Nebraska verified 2026-08-02 | Two domestic-corporation routes: § 21-323.01 after April 16 dissolution for unpaid occupation tax and an unfiled biennial report; § 21-2,195 after § 21-2,194 dissolution for a 60-day registered-agent/office default, unreported change, or expired stated duration |
Ordinary reinstatement within 5 years after effective administrative dissolution; late reinstatement after more than 5 years, with added legitimate-reason and no-public-fraud statements (§§ 21-323.01, 21-2,195) |
Both routes require name, effective dissolution date, grounds nonexistent or eliminated, and § 21-230 name compliance. Late application adds the legitimate reason and that reinstatement does not constitute fraud on the public; SOS files a reinstatement or late-reinstatement certificate |
Occupation-tax route: pay taxes delinquent at dissolution, taxes that would have been due for every inactive year, statutory-rate interest, and file the most recent even-year report. Other route: all delinquent fees plus a properly executed and signed biennial report |
Name must satisfy § 21-230; written consent or a final judgment can authorize a deceptively similar name. Cure any agent/office ground separately—the occupation-tax report cannot change the registered agent or office |
Current SOS form: signed by board chair, president, or another officer; a receiver, trustee, or other court-appointed fiduciary signs when in control. No separate board or shareholder approval requirement is stated |

Reinstatement declaration states court or duly elected board/equivalent authorization under penalty of perjury. Revival certificate is signed by stockholder-designated person(s) with written consent of at least a voting-power majority; if no stock issued, a director majority may designate (§§ 78.180, 78.730) |
Nevada Secretary of State; current forms page supplies a combined Reinstatement/Revival certificate and full packet, with a separate application only when the name is unavailable. Most filings may use SilverFlume; paper submissions use the customer-order process (official forms pages) |

Reinstatement and revival generally relate back to forfeiture, expiration, or revocation as if authority remained in force; reinstatement also ends forfeiture property proceedings and restores property. No express third-party-reliance exception is stated (§§ 78.175, 78.180(5), 78.740) |

Privileges-only tax cure: act before charter forfeiture, which may follow 120 days (§§ 171.258, 171.301, 171.309). Form 801 and domestic Form 811 may be filed any time while entity otherwise would exist; Form 811 gives uninterrupted-existence treatment only before 3rd anniversary (§ 11.253(d); official instructions) |
Form 801: entity name/file number, forfeiture date, cure and signer certifications, tax-clearance attachment. Form 811: name/file number, jurisdiction/organization date, termination date, involuntary-cure certification, agent/office, tax clearance, and required amendments |
File all outstanding franchise-tax and public/ownership reports; pay tax, penalty, and interest; obtain Form 05-377 clearance. Non-tax Form 811 also cures every § 11.251-type report, fee, penalty, and agent defect (§§ 11.253, 171.312; official Comptroller instructions) |
Form 811 supplies current agent/office and may cure that termination ground; agent must consent, but consent is not attached. Form 801 cannot update agent/office—use separate Form 401. Unavailable name requires a simultaneous formation amendment (§§ 11.253(c), 171.315; official instructions) |
Form 811 signed by person authorized for the filing and certifies required BOC approval; no notarization. Form 801 signed under penalty of perjury by a person who was officer, director, or shareholder at forfeiture (§ 4.001; Tax Code § 171.313; official forms) |

| Utah verified 2026-08-20 | Administrative dissolution under § 16-10a-1421 is clearly eligible through Sept. 30, 2026. Section 16-10a-1422(1) also cross-references filed articles under § 16-10a-1403, but its approval language and the agency form address administrative/involuntary dissolution; confirm a voluntary case with the Division. Effective Oct. 1, new § 16-1a-604 is administrative-only |
No outside filing deadline under current or Oct. 1 law: apply at any time after dissolution if the name is available. Current transitional subsection also covers specified dissolutions from May 1, 2019 through Apr. 30, 2024 (§ 16-10a-1422(1)-(3); future § 16-1a-604(1)-(3)) |
Current application states dissolution date, old and reinstated names/name compliance, ground cure, paid Division charges, paid/current-plan tax status, registered office/agent, FEIN, and added Division information, with written agent consent.

Eliminate each ground and pay all Division fees/penalties; Tax Commission amounts must be paid or on a current payment plan, followed by Commission good-standing certification. Cure a missed report; current annual report is $18 and late renewal is $10 (§§ 16-10a-1420 to -1422; official fee schedule) |
Confirm a compliant available reinstated name; Utah retains corporate and assumed names for 5 years, but the agency form permits a different compliant name. State current Utah office/agent and obtain the agent's written consent. Oct. 1 keeps the 5-year hold and name/agent cure but treats designation as affirming agent consent (§ 16-10a-1422(1), (3); future §§ 16-1a-404, -604) |
No separate board/shareholder approval stated. Through Sept. 30, chair, all directors, one officer, court fiduciary, or retained attorney-in-fact signs; name/capacity required and signature affirms truth under perjury, with no acknowledgment required. Oct. 1 permits an authorized individual or agent and keeps a perjury affirmation (§ 16-10a-120(6)-(9); future §§ 16-1a-202, -208) |
