Question 1

What does Lantern track for each entity?

Accepted Answer

A Lantern account keeps each entity’s name, type, state, and next deadline together, so you can see what needs attention in one place.

Question 2

When is an annual report due?

Accepted Answer

Filing cadence and due-date rules vary by jurisdiction. Check a state’s guide for its listed filing cadence and due-date rule.

Question 3

Where can I find state filing guides?

Accepted Answer

Start with the state guide index, then open a state page for its filing cadence, due-date rule, agency, and fee information.

Question 4

Can I store annual-report receipts in Lantern?

Accepted Answer

Yes. From an entity record, an account can attach, retrieve, or remove a filing receipt. Lantern supports PDF, JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP files up to 10 MiB.

Question 5

How will Lantern remind me about deadlines?

Accepted Answer

Reminders use the next deadline tracked for an entity and the account’s selected 30-, 60-, or 90-day lead times. The default lead time is 60 days.

Question 6

Does Lantern replace a registered agent?

Accepted Answer

No. Lantern is an entity-compliance tracking and coordination product. It does not replace a separately appointed statutory registered-agent service for an entity.
