FILEOnline allows completed documents for corporations, limited liability companies and limited partnerships to be submitted as an attachment to an email message.

Documents received by email that are filed by the agency will be returned by fax. Formation/Qualification documents for new entities and change documents for existing entities may be submitted.

If your email program is configured to open from within your browser windows, the link below (SUBMIT COMPLETED DOCUMENTS) should open the email program on your computer and allow you to attach your documents. We currently accept MS Word, MS Excel and PDF file formats. We should be able to accept WordPerfect files in the near future.

If your email program is not configured to open from a website window you can still submit your document electronically. Send an email to CDfilings@michigan.govwith your documents attached.

Please note that any documents or forms submitted must be completed, signed and saved to your computer prior to attaching those documents to the email.
