Corporation Reinstatement, Revival, and Revivor Packet

CONNECTICUT CORPORATION REINSTATEMENT, REVIVAL, AND REVIVOR PACKET

Administrative-dissolution route only. A corporation may reinstate under § 33-892 only after administrative dissolution. A voluntary dissolution has a distinct 120-day revocation route and must not be mislabeled as reinstatement.

Scope gate. Use for a domestic stock business corporation. Excludes nonstock, benefit, professional, regulated, insolvent, disputed-control, judicially dissolved, merged, converted, and foreign corporations.

1. STATUS RECORD

Attach the Business.CT.gov record, dissolution notice, filing history, certificate of incorporation and amendments, bylaws, stock ledger, annual-report history, tax records, unemployment-contribution records, and registered-agent acceptance.

2. SECTION 33-892 REQUIREMENTS

The application recites the corporation's name. If the name is unavailable, an amendment identifying an available name must be filed simultaneously. The application must be accompanied by all penalties and forfeitures plus the reinstatement fee, a current-year annual report, the required tax and unemployment-contribution statements, and appointment of a registered agent.

Each agency statement must show, to the agency's knowledge and belief, that taxes or contributions were paid, were not owed, or were adequately provided for with satisfactory surety. If the Commissioner of Revenue Services or unemployment administrator does not issue its statement within five weeks after the request, § 33-892(a)(3)(C) makes filing that statement unnecessary.

☐ Administrative dissolution confirmed from the official record.

☐ Name availability checked; simultaneous amendment prepared if required.

☐ Current-year annual report completed with current principal and agent information.

☐ Revenue and unemployment statements requested, tracked, and attached or the five-week exception documented separately for each agency.

☐ Penalties, forfeitures, reinstatement fee, and annual-report fee confirmed.

3. COMBINED FILING CONTROL

The Secretary of the State publishes a combined reinstatement and annual-report form for corporations. Use the current form or portal workflow, not a stored copy, and match the corporation name and identifiers exactly to the state record.

☐ Current form revision, fee, payment method, digital-mail or portal process, and delivery instructions rechecked on filing day.

4. STATUTORY EFFECT AND GAP-PERIOD REVIEW

Under § 33-892(c), effective reinstatement relates back to the administrative-dissolution date and the corporation resumes business as if the administrative dissolution had never occurred.

Do not promise that reinstatement independently restores every license, permit, insurance policy, foreign qualification, contract right, or litigation deadline.

5. POST-ACCEPTANCE WORK

☐ Business.CT.gov record shows active status and the intended name.

☐ Certificate, combined filing, clearances or exception proof, receipt, and current record saved.

☐ Corporate records, taxes, payroll, licenses, banks, insurance, contracts, lenders, permits, and foreign qualifications reviewed separately.

☐ New annual-report and tax calendar assigned.
