New York Biennial Statement
How To File Your NY Biennial Statement
To file your New York Biennial Statement, follow these steps:
Visit the state’s e-Statement Filing System.
Enter your Department of State ID number. (Note: If you don’t know it, don’t freak out. You can find it by searching for your business on the NY Corporation & Business Entity Database Search.
Enter your business name.
Specify what (if anything) has changed since you last filed, including your CEO’s name and address (for corporations only!), your principal business address (again, corporations only!), and the name and address where you’d like service of process sent.
Enter the name, title, and email address for the person filing your Biennial Statement (Note: this goes on the public record for eternity. Hire us and we’ll put our info here.)
Optional: Do a little jig – you’re done!
Oh wait, just kidding, you have to pay. It’s $9 and you can only pay by credit card. Now you’re done!
Why Hire NYRA to File Your Biennial Statement?
When something is due every other year, it’s easy to forget about it—especially when your business is going gangbusters, as yours surely will be two years from now. The last thing you want is to lose your good standing with the state because you forgot to fill out a form. We’ll do it on time—one less thing to have to think about.
Whoever fills out the Biennial Statement has to provide a name, title, and email address. That goes on the public record for all of eternity. Or at least until someone can figure out a way to get something off the internet after it’s been posted there. Hire us, and we’ll put our information there. Come at us, spammers and marketers!
For better or worse, New York is a different animal. You can hire some ginormous national outfit for business compliance, but are they going to know about all the bonkers New York business regulations like we do? We can see the New York Secretary of State’s office from our break room. We know what’s up.

Five days later, we’ll file your Biennial Statement and charge you.
If you decide you want to cancel, you can do so anytime with just one click in your account. Easy.
