What is the Indiana biennial report?

The biennial report is a filing required by the Indiana Secretary of Stateto confirm your LLC's current information — registered agent, principal address, and members or managers. It's not a financial report or tax return. Think of it as a simple check-in that says "yes, this business still exists and here's our current info."

Step 1: Know your deadline

In Indiana, your biennial report is due By anniversary month, every two years. Missing this deadline can result in late fees and, eventually, administrative dissolution of your LLC. The Secretary of State will not send you a reminder in most cases.

Step 2: Gather your LLC information

Before you start, have the following ready:

  • Your LLC's legal name and any DBAs
  • Principal office address
  • Registered agent name and address in Indiana
  • Names and addresses of all members or managers
  • Your filing entity number (from your original Articles of Organization)

Step 3: File online at the Secretary of State portal

Visit the Indiana Secretary of State filing portal at inbiz.in.gov. Search for your LLC, select the biennial report option, confirm or update your information, and pay the $32 filing fee.

Step 4: Save your confirmation

After filing, download or print the confirmation. Set a calendar reminder for next filing period's deadline so you don't forget.

What happens if you miss the deadline?

If you fail to file your biennial report in Indiana, your LLC can face:

  • Late fees — most states add a penalty for late filings
  • Loss of good standing — you may not be able to get loans, contracts, or licenses
  • Administrative dissolution — the Secretary of State can involuntarily dissolve your LLC, meaning you lose liability protection

Reinstatement after dissolution is possible in most cases but costs more than just filing on time.
