My U.S. corporation was dissolved three years ago. As a nonresident, is there a deadline to reinstate it?

Yes, time limits for company reinstatement vary by state. Some states impose strict deadlines, while others have no time limit but may have additional conditions for reinstatement.
State-Specific Reinstatement Time Limits
- Georgia: Allows reinstatement within five years of administrative dissolution.
- New Mexico: Provides a two-year window for reinstatement.
- North Carolina: There is no specific time limit, but other conditions may apply.
Other states may require a new business registration if the reinstatement deadline has passed.
Why It’s Important to Check State-Specific Regulations
Each state has unique rules and conditions for reinstatement, including:
- Payment of outstanding taxes and fees.
- Submission of missing annual reports.
- Meeting regulatory compliance requirements before reinstatement approval.
What If My Company Misses the Deadline?
- Some states permanently revoke the company name, meaning you may need to register a new business instead of reinstating the dissolved entity.
- Reapplying for licenses and EINs may also be required.
