Online processing fees for filing business organization documents will change effective January 1, 2008. The Colorado Department of State is required by law to adjust fees so that the revenues generated approximate its direct and indirect costs plus a reasonable reserve.

For specific fee amounts, please visit the Secretary of State's Web site, www.sos.state.co.us, select “Business Center” and, under “General Information”, select “Fee schedule”.

Although online document processing fees will generally increase, fees previously charged for photocopies will be eliminated. The Business Division will continue to offer free certificates of good standing online, along with free online access to search and view business organization and UCC/EFS/lien document images. Trade name renewal and UCC/EFS/lien document processing fees will not change at this time.

Please note that if a paper document is submitted for filing with an insufficient fee, the document will be rejected. The Business Division recommends that filers use the most current forms and verify the fee prior to submitting a filing.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support!

The Business Division
