How to file
You can submit most business filings online using your Business.CT.gov account. This method provides:
- Faster processing and fewer rejections
- Option to save your progress and submit forms later on
- Access to your past filing history and reminders of upcoming filings
To file online, select your form from the list below. Our filing system will guide you through the process. Please note, you must be logged in or create your Business.CT.gov account to file online. Expedited service is only available online.
When logged into Business.CT.gov, you can also verify a Certificate of Existence or view your previously requested certificates at no charge.
