Resident Agent and Principal Office Changes Can
Now Be Made Online, LLCs Can File Articles of Cancellation
The Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) has
updated its award-winning Maryland Business Express (MBE) site to
now allow online filing of resolutions, which add, edit, or remove
a resident agent and change the principal office location for
businesses. In addition, Maryland Limited Liability Companies
(LLCs) can now file Articles of Cancellation online and other
documents updating customers on the status of their filings, which
have been enhanced to provide more detailed information, increase
security, and ensure authenticity.
“With this update, more than 18,000 filings that previously were
done by mail or in-person annually can now be filed online through
Maryland Business Express,” said SDAT Director Michael Higgs.
“Continuing to improve this modern and easily accessible
alternative to paper filings will ensure that Maryland is Open for
Business 24/7.”
Most Maryland entities will now have the ability to file online
resolutions that add, edit, or remove a resident agent and/or
change their principal office location through MBE. All businesses
are legally required to have an active and valid principal office
and resident agent in order to maintain good standing status and do
business in Maryland. Once a resolution is filed, the customer will
receive email updates on the resolution’s status and after it has
been accepted, customers can order and receive a certified copy of
the resolution immediately. This new feature allows customers to
make these changes whenever it is convenient for them, rather than
having to file in-person because MBE is available 24 hours a day, 7
days a week.
In addition, a Maryland Limited Liability Company that is in
good standing can now file Articles of Cancellation online, which
includes choosing the effective date for the cancellation as well
as the Registered Agent who will act as the representative for the
company for one year after termination. After a cancellation has
been approved, certified copies of the Articles of Cancellation can
be ordered online and received immediately. This new online service
allows LLC owners the ability to wrap up business affairs without a
hassle or delay in order to begin their next venture.
Finally, numerous documents produced by MBE have been updated to
provide more detailed information to customers by including the
filing approval date/time, page numbers, and department ID number.
A watermark will also be shown on all documents generated while
registering a business until the business has been approved in
order to enhance security and to ensure authenticity.
Through its partnership with NIC Maryland, SDAT has consistently
launched new online services for customers and has developed
nationally recognized sites, such as Maryland Business Express, to
help businesses thrive in the State of Maryland.
