How to fill out the Florida Annual Report step by step

Published on

Filling out the Annual Report is quick once you have the data ready. Here is the step-by-step and what to check before you submit.

The Annual Report does not change the company’s structure — it confirms the data already on record. The trick is to arrive with the right information so you do not get stuck midway.

Before you start: what to have ready

  • The company’s Sunbiz Document Number.
  • Up-to-date principal address and mailing address.
  • Registered agent details (name and Florida address).
  • Name and address of the people in charge (members/managers or officers/directors).
  • A card to pay the State fee.

The step-by-step

  1. Find the company by Document Number or by name.
  2. Review the principal and mailing addresses — fix them if they changed.
  3. Confirm the registered agent and their address.
  4. Review the people in charge; add, remove, or update as needed.
  5. Sign electronically (the signer’s name goes on the public record).
  6. Pay the State fee and keep the receipt.

Common errors that stall the filing

  • Using a PO box for the registered agent address (it must be a physical address).
  • Leaving required fields blank.
  • Typing the Document Number incorrectly.
  • Waiting until the last days and getting the $400 penalty.

If you would rather not deal with the process, we fill it out and file it for you, with official Sunbiz data and a PDF receipt.
