Effective Date of Reinstatement
When the reinstatement is effective, it relates back to and takes effect as of the date of the administrative dissolution allowing the entity to carry on business as if the administrative dissolution had never occurred, subject to the rights of any person who reasonably relied to his prejudice upon the certificate of dissolution.
Name Availability
If at the time the entity applies for reinstatement and the entity’s name is not distinguishable from the name of another entity on the NC Business Registry, then the applicant must change the entity name to a name that is distinguishable upon the record before a certificate of reinstatement can be issued. If a out of state entity’s home jurisdiction name is not available at the time of reinstatement, the Department of the NC Secretary of State will need to request a resolution from the company officials or board of directors approving of the name to be used in North Carolina.
Dissolution for failure to file Annual Report(s)
If the ground for administrative dissolution was failure to file an annual report timely, you will need to search your company name and download a pre-populated annual report. The link to print a pre-populated annual report is located at the top of the company profile page.You must file an annual report and pay the applicable filing fee for each year that is missing. This means you may need to file several separate annual reports.
You will need to insert the date for which each annual report is being filed. You can find a copy of your previous filed annual reports on the company profile page.
Provide a Cover Letter with your documents.
