Business RegistrationComplete and Submit Forms Online

The NC Secretary of State’s Office provides two methods for submitting your creation documents online.

The new “creations wizard” speeds the process, walks you seamlessly through the elements and helps you avoid common mistakes.

The “classic” online submission requires you to download the right form; complete, sign and save the document offline as a pdf; then upload and submit the pdf document online.

Within the online process you will need to designate a registered agent. Click here to learn about the duties of a registered agent and who can be one.

Sign into an NCSOS web account to use either method. If you have never logged into this website before, first create an account and then sign in.

The benefits of each online creation method are:
