Secretary of State Office Closed to the Public Wednesday, Feb.19: With weather forecasts predicting significant winter precipitation beginning Wednesday morning, the Secretary of State’s office will be closed to the public Wednesday, February 19 for in-person transactions. This is for the safety of the public and our employees. All online services will remain available. With travel conditions forecast to be treacherous on Thursday as well, please check the website before attempting to come in person.
Beware of Misleading Mailings: With most Annual Reports due in April, this is the season to be on the lookout for misleading mailings. The three most common deceptive mailings we see at the NC Secretary of State’s Office are solicitations to file Annual Reports, Prepare Annual Minutes, or Obtain a Certificate of Existence. These mailings generally charge exorbitant fees, well above what it would cost to file on your own. Our misleading mailing section goes into more detail about how to spot one.
