§205.1. Annual report to secretary of state

A. On or before the anniversary date each year of the corporation, an officer or director of each corporation shall make and sign in its name a report to the secretary of state, stating:

(1)The post office address and the municipal address or location, which shall not be a post office box only, of its registered office.

(2)The name and post office address and municipal address or location, which shall not be a post office box only, of each registered agent.

(3)The names and municipal address, which shall not be a post office box only, of all of its directors and officers, and when the term of each expires.

(4)The taxpayer identification number of the corporation. The failure to include the taxpayer identification number of the corporation shall not invalidate nor cause the secretary of state to reject the report.

B. The secretary of state may prescribe and furnish forms for filing the annual report.

C. Each corporation, except a church, shall pay a filing fee as provided in R.S. 49:222 at the time of filing such report. No church shall be required to pay the fee.

D.(1) A church which is a member of and in good standing with a statewide church association may file such report through the association. The association shall then furnish the required information to the secretary of state. In lieu of submitting the information on a form supplied by the secretary of state, the association may submit a roster of information, provided that the roster contains the required information.

(2)A church which is a member of and in good standing with a statewide church association shall not be subject to the penalties otherwise applicable to corporations pursuant to this Title for failure to file annual reports.
