Several business owners in Georgia have reported receiving emails or letters in the mail appearing to originate from a state agency and stating that their annual registration is due by the middle of December. The forms further state the fee to file the annual registration is $150.
If you receive a form like this, do not respond. The solicitation is not sent by the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, but is sent by a third-party company that may or may not be legitimate.
