Instructions for Completing the
Statement of Information (Form SI-550)
For faster processing, the required statement for most corporations can be filed online at https://businessfilings.sos.ca.gov.
Every California stock, agricultural cooperative and registered foreign corporation must file a Statement of Information with
the California Secretary of State within 90 days of registering with the California Secretary of State, and every year thereafter
during a specific 6-month filing period based on the original registration date, as described in the chart below. Changes to
information contained in a previously filed Statement of Information can be made by filing a new Form SI-550, completed in its
entirety. If there has been no change in any of the information contained in the previous complete Statement of Information filed
with the California Secretary of State, a Statement of No Change (Form SI-550 NC) may be used instead of this Statement of
Information (Form SI-550). A California nonprofit corporation is not authorized to file a Form SI-550 and must file a complete
Statement of Information using Form SI-100.
Status of Corporation: In order to file Form SI-550, the status of the corporation must be active or suspended/forfeited on the
records of the California Secretary of State. The status of the corporation can be checked online on the Secretary of State’s
Business Search at BusinessSearch.sos.ca.gov. See the FTB Suspension/Forfeiture section below for information about resolving
an FTB suspended/forfeited status.
Fees: See chart below. Checks should be made payable to the Secretary of State.
Copies: To obtain a copy or certified copy of this filed Statement of Information, include payment for copy fees and certification fees
at the time this Statement of Information is submitted. Copy fees are $1.00 for the first page and $.50 for each attachment page.
