California charges a standard filing fee of $100 to register an out-of-state (?foreign?) for-profit corporation, but there are other costs involved. To register, you'll file the Statement and Designation by Foreign Corporation (Form S&DC-S/N) with California's Secretary of State.

Electronic signatures on filings submitted through the Secretary of State's online process are the only electronic signatures that are acceptable for filings with the Secretary of State. Computer generated signatures or fonts made to look like a signature printed on paper filings are not acceptable.

Every California LLC is required to file a Statement of Information (sometimes referred to as a ?Biennial Report?) every 2 years. Your first Statement of Information is due within 90 days of your LLC being approved.

How long does it take to process a California Statement of Information? Online filings are typically processed within 2-3 business days. In-person or mailed submissions take a bit longer ? 1 to 2 weeks.
