Where to Mail SI-100?

The SI-100 filing fee is $20 (no fee if you submit the form to update the information in the already filed statement). You need to prepare this form within ninety days from the corporation's date of registration. It is required to file the statement every two years or once a year if your business is a cooperative corporation or credit union. Determine the applicable filing period based on the month in which your corporation was registered: it includes that month and the five months before that. For instance, if you filed the articles of incorporation on April 10, 2020, the Form SI-100 deadline is July 9, 2020. The next Statement of Information is due on April 10, 2021, or during the preceding five months.
