How reinstatement works in Alabama

  2. File the application

    Alabama lists a Domestic LLC Certificate of Reinstatement among its business forms. A certified true copy of the LLC's certificate of formation must be attached. 3

  3. Pay the state fee

    Alabama's Domestic LLC Certificate of Reinstatement form lists a $100.00 reinstatement filing fee, which the form's instructions call the processing fee. 2
