Minnesota LLCs, corporations, and nonprofits must file an annual renewal with the Secretary of State by December 31 each year — and for domestic entities it’s free. Foreign corporations pay $135. Miss the deadline and your business is statutorily dissolved on January 1, after which reinstatement costs $25–$45 plus the renewal. FileForms files Minnesota annual renewals automatically and tracks the deadline across your entire entity portfolio.

Minnesota calls it the annual renewal (most people search it as the “annual report”), and it’s unusually forgiving on cost — $0 for domestic entities — but unforgiving on timing. There’s no grace period: if you don’t renew by December 31, the state dissolves your entity on January 1.
File Now Book a DemoThe Minnesota annual renewal is a yearly filing with the Minnesota Secretary of State that confirms your entity is still active and keeps its information current — registered office, registered agent, and contact details. It’s the same obligation other states call an “annual report.” Every domestic and foreign LLC, corporation, nonprofit, LP, LLP, and cooperative registered in Minnesota must file.
