Incorporation Forms

The other day I rushed to file an LLC and was surprised to learn that If I wanted it effective  the same day, I had to pay $100.00 above the regular $50.00 filing fee. Otherwise  there was an approximate two-week delay.   It made no sense because anyone can file and activate  a  regular or closed corporation  the same day for the regular $110.00 fee. Anyway, if you are planning to open an LLC be aware of this administrative detail.   Also, as of now there is no online filing so  filing is done  by mail or in person. 

If you are planning to open a Stock Corporation in Puerto Rico, here is the form you need to complete and file  in the   Puerto Rico's State Department: Download Cert_Incorp_Acciones.pdf . If it's a closed corporation the form is this one:  Download Cert_Incorp_Intima.pdf . Limited Liability Corporations use a different form:   Download crl_certificado_organizacion.pdf.  If on the other hand you are foreign corporation and want file for authorization to do business in Puerto Rico, here is  the Certificate of Authorization to Do Business in Puerto Rico: Download Cert_Foranea.pdf.  Annual reports are completed in this form: Download informe_anual_de_corporaciones.pdf.   Additional forms can be found in the  Corporations Division of the State Department .

In all cases fees apply; check the appropriate form.
