Welcome to the Department of State On-Line Filing System

Effective December 5, 2018 , business owners wishing to form a business corporation or limited liability company may file their Certificates of Incorporation and Articles of Organization through New York Business Express, the State’s portal for starting and growing a business. New York Business Express will help you create and submit the document to the Department of State for filing 24 hours a day! You will also be able to track the status of your document. New York Business Express is designed for business owners. Service Companies and other Third Party Filers (e.g. attorneys and C.P.A.’s), who file documents on behalf of business owners, should continue to use the Department of State’s On-Line Filing System to submit documents directly to the Department of State.
