Pennsylvania Annual Report Requirements

The Pennsylvania annual report is a new mandatory filing requirement that took effect in 2025, replacing the previous decennial report system. All business entities registered in the state must now file annual reports to the Department of State. This filing keeps your company’s information up to date and ensures continued good standing.

The annual report is required for all business types, including limited liability companies (LLCs), corporations, nonprofits, limited partnerships (LPs), and limited liability partnerships (LLPs). It provides updated details about your business operations and responsible parties.
