Notes

  • The filing fee for initial filings must be made via check made payable to “FDACS”. Renewal filings are completed online and Florida accepts payment of the filing fee via ACH or credit card.  For ACH payments, you will be required to complete and submit an ACH authorization form to us before we will submit the filing for you, and the state will charge a $1.00 convenience fee for payments submitted via ACH.  For credit card payments, you will be required to complete and submit a credit card authorization form to us before we will submit the filing for you.
  • We will provide the Florida initial or renewal form to you via email or DocuSign for your signature. If we provide the form via email, you must print it, sign it, and scan it back to us via email so we may complete the filing on your behalf.
  • Florida is a filing state and approval of the FDD is not required. The filing is typically approved within two weeks.
