Changes to Alabama LLCs beginning 2021
Act 2020-73 made large changes to the Alabama Business and Nonprofit Entities Code. Starting an Alabama LLC is now a lot easier! You are no longer required to file with the Probate Judge. And the Certificate of Formation can be done entirely online. For more details on what changed, please see Alabama LLCs no longer file with the Probate Judge.
To form an LLC in Alabama you need to file a Certificate of Formation with the Judge of Probate in the county of your LLC’s Registered Office. The Registered Office address is the address listed in #3 of the Certificate of Formation.
The table below includes the fee and mailing address for all 67 counties.
Please call your Probate Judge to confirm their mailing address and fee before sending your Certificate of Formation. This table is only checked for updated information about once or twice per year.
For complete instructions on filling out your Certificate of Formation, please reference this lesson: LLC University: Alabama Certificate of Formation.
