Corporation Reinstatement, Revival, and Revivor Packet - Vermont
VERMONT CORPORATION REINSTATEMENT, REVIVAL, AND REVIVOR PACKET
Annual-report reinstatement route. Under current § 14.20, a corporation terminated for failure to file its required annual report is reinstated when it files that report with the fee required by law. The current Secretary of State fee schedule lists a $35 reinstatement fee for failure to file a Title 11A annual report.
1. STATUS AND REPORT RECORD
| Item | Verified information |
|---|---|
| Exact name / Vermont business ID | [________________________________] |
| Termination date | [__/__/____] |
| Missing annual-report year | [________________________________] |
| More than five years after report due | ☐ Yes ☐ No |
| Former name still available | ☐ Yes ☐ No ☐ Unchecked |
| Registered agent / office current | [________________________________] |
2. REINSTATEMENT GATE
☐ Official record confirms involuntary termination for the annual-report failure governed by § 14.20.
☐ Required annual report is complete and all report and reinstatement charges generated by the filing system are ready for payment.
☐ Directors, officers, addresses, fiscal-year information, registered agent, and other report fields are current.
☐ If the report has been delinquent more than five years, the name record is checked because the corporation can lose the right to retain its former name when another corporation requests it.
3. FILING INVENTORY
| Requirement | Evidence / amount | Completed |
|---|---|---|
| Required annual report | [Document] | [__/__/____] |
| Annual-report filing charge | $[________________________________] | [__/__/____] |
| Reinstatement fee | $35 | [__/__/____] |
| Name or other update, if needed | [Document / N/A] | [__/__/____] |
☐ Online acceptance saved; active status, name, agent, and next annual-report date rechecked.
4. EFFECT AND PROCEEDING REVIEW
Reinstatement relates back to the termination date as if termination had never occurred. Involuntary termination does not prevent a proceeding against the corporation, abate or suspend a pending proceeding, or terminate the registered agent's service authority.
☐ Licenses, taxes, insurance, contracts, litigation, banking, property, and foreign qualifications reviewed separately.

Legal authority
- 11A V.S.A. § 14.20
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.
