Annual report

Also called: annual reports, annual renewal, biennial report, biennial statement, public information report

The recurring filing most states require to keep an entity's record current - officers, addresses, registered agent. Some states call it an annual renewal, annual registration, biennial report or statement, (Texas) a public information report, or (Nevada) an annual list - 'AL' in industry shorthand; they are all the same filing. Miss it long enough and the state moves the entity out of good standing and eventually revokes or administratively dissolves it.
