What you pay, and when
| To form it | $135.00, once. |
| Every year after | $50.00. Due November 15 every year — a date almost no other state uses, so a reminder set for spring will be eight months wrong. It asks for your address, what the business does and who is involved; no financial statements. |
| If you miss it | No fine, but the company is marked Not Good Standing, which is the status a lender or a landlord checks. You have a year to put it right; after that North Dakota terminates the company for you. |
| Registered agent | Required. You can be your own if you have a street address in North Dakota and do not mind it being public. |
Do it yourself
You file this directly with the state. There is nobody in the middle who has to be paid to do it, and nothing on this page is a Base888 charge — the fees above are paid to North Dakota.
