How can we help?

Starting a business is an exciting step, but once you’ve submitted your paperwork, the waiting game begins. Understanding how to track your LLC or C-Corp registration status can help ease concerns and keep your business formation on schedule.

Understanding the Company Formation Process

When you register a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or a C-Corporation (C-Corp), the state filing office typically takes 1–2 weeks to process your application and issue formation documents. However, timelines vary:

Some states process applications within a few business days.

Others may take longer, especially during peak filing seasons.

While you may not get instant updates, you’ll be notified once your documents are approved and available.

How to Check the Status of Your Company Registration

1. Log Into Your Dashboard

Access your doola dashboard.

Click the “Company” tab on the left-hand side to view the status of your business formation.

2. Monitor Email Notifications

doola sends email updates throughout the registration process.

Make sure you check your inbox (and spam/junk folder) for important updates regarding your filing.

Common Reasons for Delays

Even if you’ve filed correctly, delays can happen. Common reasons include:

State Processing Times – Some states naturally take longer to review and approve applications.

Business Name Conflicts – If your chosen name is already taken, you’ll need to provide an alternative.

Incomplete Information – Errors or missing details in your application can stall the process.

Payment Issues – Unpaid or declined filing fees can stop your registration until resolved.

Tips for Smoother Processing

Double-check your business name availability before filing.

Ensure all required information is accurate and complete.

Confirm payments are processed successfully.

Respond promptly to any follow-up requests from your provider or the state.

Conclusion

To check the status of your company registration, monitor your doola dashboard and email for updates. While most states complete filings within 1–2 weeks, processing times vary and delays can occur due to name conflicts, missing information, or payment issues. By understanding the process and tracking updates, you can stay informed and better manage your business launch timeline.
