2. GEORGIA ELIGIBILITY GATE
The Secretary of State states that an administratively dissolved corporation may apply within five years after the effective dissolution date. The application must identify the corporation and dissolution date, state that each ground did not exist or has been eliminated, include the required tax-paid statement, and be accompanied by the required fee.
The application may be executed by the registered agent or an officer, director, or shareholder shown in the latest annual registration. If another eligible person signs, confirm the notarized assent statement and status-at-dissolution facts required by § 14-2-1422.
☐ Five-year period calculated from the effective dissolution date.
☐ Every ground cured or shown not to have existed.
☐ All taxes owed by the corporation confirmed paid.
☐ Signer appears in the latest annual registration or supplies the required notarized statement.

Section 14-2-1422 states that effective reinstatement relates back to the administrative-dissolution date and permits the corporation to resume as if dissolution had not occurred. Do not convert that text into a blanket opinion about licenses, limitations periods, third-party rights, personal liability, or acts outside corporate authority.

About This Template
Corporate documents govern how a company makes decisions, records them, and handles disputes between owners, directors, and officers. Proper corporate paperwork is what lets a business take advantage of limited liability, pass clean audits, and survive an acquisition or investor review. Skipping formalities like written resolutions and signed consents is one of the fastest ways for a business owner to lose personal asset protection.
