How to file a Pennsylvania annual report

You file the annual report (form DSCB:15-146) online at file.dos.pa.gov. Search for your business, open the annual report, confirm or update the details, and pay the $7 fee by credit card ($0 for nonprofits). Online filings are approved automatically, and the approved report is ready to download within minutes.

Checked against official Pennsylvania sources on Oct 1, 2026. Filewell is a private filing service, not the Department of State.

  1. Register a Business Filing Services account if you don't have one.
  2. Log in at file.dos.pa.gov and search for your company name.
  3. Click the Annual Report icon. No PIN is required.

  5. Download the form and acknowledgement letter once it's processed.

Information you'll need

The law lists what the annual report contains. Have these ready:

  • The business's name and where it was formed.
  • Its registered office address (or commercial registered office provider).
  • The name of at least one governor (for example a director, member or general partner).
  • The names and titles of its principal officers, if it has any.
  • Its principal office address.
  • Its Pennsylvania entity number.

If you'd rather not do it yourself

Filewell is a private filing service. Search for your business and we fill in what Pennsylvania's public register shows, so you check details instead of typing them. You confirm everything and authorize the filing, we submit it, and we send you the state's acknowledgement. It costs our $49.00 service fee plus the $7.00 state fee. Filing yourself costs only the state fee.

Your options

File it yourself. File online at file.dos.pa.gov for the state fee: $7 ($0 for nonprofits). You don't need a filing service.
