How Do I Reinstate a Dissolved LLC in New Jersey?

To reinstate a dissolved New Jersey LLC, file all delinquent annual reports, pay the $75 reinstatement fee, and submit your request through New Jersey's online business-formation portal at https://www.njportal.com/DOR/BusinessFormation/Home/Welcome. If your registered agent or office address changed, add the $25 registered-agent change fee. Contact the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services at (609) 292-9292 for assistance.

Why Your LLC Was Dissolved

New Jersey automatically places an LLC on inactive status or revokes its authority after missing annual reports for two consecutive years under N.J.S.A. 42:2C-26. No formal dissolution filing is required—this happens automatically. Verify your LLC's current status at https://www.njportal.com/DOR/BusinessNameSearch/Search/BusinessName before filing reinstatement.

Reinstatement Steps

File delinquent annual reports. Submit all missing annual reports (due by the last day of your anniversary month each year). Each report costs $75 and requires your business name, New Jersey business ID, mailing address, EIN, registered agent information, and principal business address.
Pay the reinstatement fee. Submit $75 to cover reinstatement processing.
Update registered agent information if needed. If your registered agent or office address changed, include the $25 registered-agent change fee.
