The Secretary of State is the government office in most states responsible for business filings, including LLC formations, annual reports, and amendments. When you submit your Articles of Organization or request a Certificate of Good Standing, it usually goes through this office. Each state’s Secretary of State website provides forms, filing fees, and compliance information. Some states allow online filings, while others require paper submissions. The office plays a central role in keeping public records of LLCs up to date.
