Reinstating a dissolved U.S. company as a nonresident requires following state-specific procedures** to regain active status. While the exact steps vary by state, the general process includes the following:

1. Verify the Entity’s Status

Check with the Secretary of State or Department of Revenue to determine:

• The reason for the loss of good standing.
• Any outstanding obligations such as taxes or missing filings.
• Many states offer online portals to check compliance status.

2. Submit a Reinstatement Application

• File the required reinstatement forms with the Secretary of State’s office.
• Some states require additional documentation, such as a Certificate of Tax Clearance.

3. Resolve Outstanding Obligations

• Pay all unpaid fees, franchise taxes, and penalties.
• Submit any missing annual reports or compliance filings.

4. Comply with State Orders

If the dissolution was due to regulatory or legal infractions, you may need to:

• Resolve compliance violations.
• Update business information, such as appointing a new registered agent.

5. Seek Professional Assistance (Recommended for Nonresidents)

Consulting a legal professional or business consultant familiar with state-specific laws can help navigate complex reinstatement procedures.
