Delaware LLC Formation Service

• FilingOak LLC Formation Service: $495
• FilingOak Delaware state-side amount: $120
• Current total: $615

Delaware's current domestic LLC formation fee is $110.

FilingOak uses $120 as the disclosed state-side amount for its actual Delaware filing and payment workflow. The $120 is not presented as though Delaware has a single statutory $120 Certificate fee.

Small transaction or payment differences are not added to the customer's bill after checkout simply to force the FilingOak amount to mirror every line of Delaware's fee schedule.

The Delaware Certificate of Formation is one of the leaner state formation documents.

An ordinary filing establishes the LLC with the Division of Corporations and identifies the registered-office and Registered Agent arrangement. The members and managers ordinarily do not have to be named in the Certificate simply because they own or manage the company.

That is a narrower public formation record than many states require.

It is not a guarantee of anonymity.

Banks, payment processors, tax authorities and other institutions can require ownership information independently. Other filings and company activities can also create records outside the Certificate of Formation.

A Delaware LLC must maintain a Registered Agent and registered office in the state.

FilingOak includes First-Year Registered Agent Service with Delaware formation. Legal mail received through FilingOak's Registered Agent infrastructure is handled under the Same-Day Legal Mail Scanning & Uploads service standard.

Registered Agent Service does not renew automatically after the included first year.

The first year of Registered Agent service is already included with FilingOak formation. The Registered Agent service page explains the ongoing service if you later choose to continue it.

FilingOak includes Public Record Address Privacy where an appropriate FilingOak-supported address can legitimately be used for the relevant public filing field.

The service does not promise that the company is invisible, that every address connected with the LLC can be replaced or that a FilingOak-provided address must be accepted by a bank, marketplace or payment processor for a different purpose.

The Delaware Certificate can remain lean without turning privacy into an unlimited claim.

Domestic Delaware LLCs currently pay an annual tax of $300, due on or before June 1. Delaware Division of Corporations LLC tax instructions.

An ordinary Delaware LLC does not file the corporation-style Delaware annual report along with that tax.

Those two facts belong together:

• annual Delaware LLC tax: $300;
• LLC annual report: not required for the ordinary domestic LLC.

Late payment can result in a state penalty and monthly interest.

The annual tax is a future state obligation and is not included in the $615 FilingOak formation total.

FilingOak's Compliance Center and Compliance Reminder Notifications keep the June 1 obligation visible after formation.

Because Delaware's public Certificate can remain minimal, much of the company's actual ownership and governance belongs in its internal records rather than the formation document.

FilingOak includes a State-Specific Operating Agreement prepared from the actual ownership and management information supplied for the LLC.

The agreement is not represented as legal advice or attorney review. Unusual investor rights, bespoke control arrangements or other matters requiring legal judgment should be handled with an appropriate attorney.

FounderVault keeps the Delaware formation record and FilingOak-prepared documents organized around the specific LLC.

FilingOak reviews the LLC name, Registered Agent arrangement, ownership and management facts and information needed for the included documents.

The Certificate of Formation is prepared and submitted through the Delaware filing workflow reflected in FilingOak's $120 disclosed state-side amount.

Delaware controls government review, acceptance and processing. FilingOak does not guarantee a government approval date.

After formation, the June 1 annual-tax obligation is carried into the company's compliance record.

Delaware's public formation document is lean, but the recurring state cost is not zero. The LLC currently pays a $300 annual tax even though it does not file the corporation-style annual report.
