Streamline Your California LLC Annual Filing with Paperform

Every California limited liability company (LLC) must file a Statement of Information (Form LLC-12) with the California Secretary of State. This requirement comes every two years for most LLCs, but annual filing is required for certain entities. Missing this deadline can result in penalties, suspension of your LLC, and loss of good standing status.

Our California Statement of Information template makes this mandatory compliance task straightforward and stress-free. Whether you're a single-member LLC managing your own business, a multi-member company, or a professional services firm handling multiple client entities, this form captures all the required information in a clear, organized format.

Built for California business owners and their advisors

This template is designed specifically for:

• Small business owners who need to file their own Statement of Information without hiring expensive professionals
• Attorneys and legal professionals managing multiple LLC clients and needing a consistent intake process
• Accountants and bookkeepers who handle compliance filings as part of client services
• Business formation services that need to collect updated information from LLC owners

The form walks users through every required field—from LLC identification details to current member and manager information, registered agent details, and business addresses. Conditional logic ensures you only see questions relevant to your LLC structure, whether you're member-managed or manager-managed.

Once a client or team member submits their Statement of Information updates, you can use Stepper to automatically route the data to your document preparation system, update your CRM or practice management software, send calendar reminders for the next filing deadline, and even generate PDF summaries for your records. This turns a manual, repetitive task into a streamlined workflow that protects your clients' good standing status.

Paperform is SOC 2 Type II certified, meaning the sensitive business information you collect through this form is protected by enterprise-grade security. You can enable SSL encryption, set up access controls, and store submission data with full audit trails—critical features when handling official state filings and confidential business details.
