Processing times for Limited Liability Company (LLC) formations in Delaware can vary based on several factors, including the volume of applications being processed and the specific method of filing. As of my last update, here are some general timelines:
-
Online Filing: If you file your LLC documents online, the processing time is typically faster, often within 1-3 business days.
-
Mail Filing: If you send your LLC formation documents by mail, the processing time can take longer, generally ranging from 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the current workload.
-
Expedited Service: Delaware offers expedited processing for an additional fee, which can reduce the processing time to as little as 24 hours or even same-day service, depending on the time of submission and the specific request.
-
Annual Reports and Renewals: If you're referring to the annual report filings and associated fees, those are typically due by March 1st each year, and processing times may vary.
It's always a good idea to check the Delaware Division of Corporations website or contact them directly for the most current processing times, as they can change based on demand and other factors.
