Illinois LLC Formation Service

• FilingOak LLC Formation Service: $495
• FilingOak Illinois state-side amount: $154
• Current total: $649

The underlying Illinois Articles fee is $150 for routine processing.

Illinois's electronic payment path can add processor charges. FilingOak uses a stable $154 FilingOak state-side amount rather than changing the customer's price by a few dollars as transaction costs vary.

The $154 amount does not mean Illinois has a single statutory $154 Articles fee, and it does not include an expedited-processing upgrade.

An Illinois LLC must maintain a Registered Agent and registered office that satisfy the Secretary of State's requirements.

FilingOak includes First-Year Registered Agent Service with Illinois formation. The service does not renew automatically after the first year.

Same-Day Legal Mail Scanning & Uploads applies to legal mail received through FilingOak's Registered Agent infrastructure under FilingOak's service standards.

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.

Illinois's LLC formation and annual-report records can include organizer information and the manager or member information requested by the state for the company's structure.

FilingOak therefore treats Public Record Address Privacy as a bounded filing benefit.

An appropriate FilingOak-supported address can be used where the actual filing permits it. The service does not remove people Illinois requires to identify, guarantee anonymity or create an unrestricted address for unrelated banking, licensing or marketplace use.

Illinois LLCs file an annual report and currently pay a $75 state filing fee. Illinois Secretary of State domestic LLC guide.

The important deadline is not the anniversary day itself.

The report is due before the first day of the LLC's anniversary month.

An LLC formed in July therefore does not wait until its exact July formation date to think about the report. Its filing obligation comes due before the anniversary month begins under Illinois's reporting rule.

Late filing can add state penalties and continued noncompliance can eventually affect the LLC's standing and existence.

FilingOak's Compliance Center records the actual anniversary month so reminders follow the Illinois deadline rather than a generic once-a-year date.

The future $75 government report fee is separate from the $649 formation total.

If you later want FilingOak to handle the recurring state filing rather than self-file it, the Annual Report Filing service is separate from LLC formation.

Where Illinois identifies managers or members in the state record, FilingOak's State-Specific Operating Agreement is prepared from the same underlying ownership and management facts.

The agreement is an internal company document and is not represented as legal advice or attorney review.

Complex governance, investor or ownership arrangements that require legal judgment should be handled with an appropriate attorney.
