New York Biennial Statement

What the Biennial Statement is

The Biennial Statement is a periodic business filing that keeps a company's record information up to date in New York. It is filed once every two years by most domestic and authorized foreign business corporations and limited liability companies.

When it is due

The filing month is based on the month in which the business originally filed its formation documents or became authorized to do business in New York. The statement is then generally due during that same calendar month every second year.

For example, a corporation formed in March would generally have a March filing month, with statements due in March of every other year.
