Michigan Form CSCL/CD-2000 is the Certificate of Restoration of Good Standing that a domestic profit corporation files with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing Bureau, to bring the company back into good standing after it lost that status for not filing annual reports, not paying fees, or both. The form is filed under the Michigan Business Corporation Act, specifically MCL 450.1922, which lets a corporation that has been automatically dissolved or had its certificate revoked file a single document, pay back fees, and recover its corporate existence as if no lapse occurred.
Roughly one in eight Michigan profit corporations falls out of good standing each year, according to LARA Corporations Division annual processing data, and the vast majority restore through this exact form rather than forming a new entity. The current revision is the LARA-stamped version dated (Rev. 09/15) on the bottom of the official CSCL/CD-2000 PDF, and you should always confirm the revision date before filing because LARA rejects superseded versions.
Here is what this guide gives you:
- 📄 A line-by-line walkthrough of every box on Form CSCL/CD-2000 with sample entries
- 🧾 A pre-filing checklist of the documents, ID numbers, and back fees you must gather first
- 👩💼 Three full-walkthrough scenarios with named filers showing exactly what to write
- 💸 Current restoration fees, delinquent annual report fees, and all four expedited-service tiers
- ⚖️ The statutes, deadlines, and personal-liability consequences that hinge on getting this filing right
What Form CSCL/CD-2000 Is and Who Must File It
Form CSCL/CD-2000 is the LARA Corporations Division certificate that a Michigan domestic profit corporation uses to restore good standing after the entity has been automatically dissolved under MCL 450.1922(1) for failing to file annual reports for two consecutive years or for non-payment of the annual filing fee. The form is short — only two pages — but it carries the weight of reviving a legal person, which means the corporation regains its name, its contracts, its right to sue, and its limited-liability shield retroactive to the date of dissolution. LARA processes the filing through the Corporations Online Filing System (COFS) or by mail to the Lansing office, and the certificate is signed by an officer or director of the corporation.
The companies that must file this form are domestic profit corporations formed under the Michigan Business Corporation Act. Domestic nonprofit corporations use a different form (CSCL/CD-2003), and limited liability companies use CSCL/CD-2700, so do not confuse the three. Foreign profit corporations that lost their certificate of authority restore using CSCL/CD-560, not CSCL/CD-2000. If the corporation has been dissolved for more than the statutory window and the corporate name has since been taken by another entity, the restoring corporation will need to amend its name during the restoration, which is addressed inside the form itself.
The why behind the form is creditor protection and public-record integrity. The State of Michigan keeps a continuous registry of every active corporation so that lenders, customers, employees, and courts can rely on the entity’s existence, and CSCL/CD-2000 is the mechanism that closes the gap on the registry when a company has gone dark. Filing it correctly restores the corporation’s powers under MCL 450.1925, which validates acts taken during the lapse as if the dissolution never happened.
Before You Start: Documents and Information You Need
Pulling these items together before you open the form will save you from the most common cause of rejection — a missing back-year annual report. The LARA Corporations Division will not restore an entity that still owes any annual report or any fee, even one dollar, so the pre-filing checklist below is non-negotiable.
- Corporate ID number (CID), the six-digit number LARA assigned at incorporation, searchable on the LARA Business Entity Search. Without it, the filing cannot be matched to your record and will be returned unfiled.
- Exact corporate name as last filed, including punctuation and the corporate designator (“Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Co.”). A mismatched name triggers a manual review that adds two to three weeks.
- Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) for cross-reference with the Michigan Department of Treasury, because tax delinquency can block restoration in certain regulated industries.
- All missing annual reports for each year the corporation failed to file, downloadable as Form CSCL/CD-2700 annual report blanks from the LARA library. Missing even one year stops the restoration cold.
- Back annual report fees at $25 per year for profit corporations, plus the $50 restoration filing fee, totaling the cure amount LARA will demand. Underpayment by any amount returns the entire packet.
- Current resident agent name and Michigan street address, because the form re-confirms the agent on the public record. A P.O. Box alone is not acceptable for the registered office.
- Officer or director signature authority, since the form must be signed by a current officer or director who can attest to the corporation’s continued existence.
- Payment method, either a check payable to “State of Michigan,” a MasterCard/Visa/Discover card for COFS, or a CC-Cash account if you file frequently.
- Expedited service decision, because expedited handling must be selected and paid for at the moment of filing — it cannot be added after.
- Name-availability backup, in case your original corporate name has been taken during the lapse, which forces a name change inside the same filing.
Where to Get the Form and How to Access It
The official Form CSCL/CD-2000 lives on the LARA Corporations Division forms library, and you should always download it fresh rather than reusing an older saved copy. Pull the current PDF directly from LARA’s CSCL/CD-2000 page so you get the version with the current revision stamp at the bottom. The form is fillable in Adobe Acrobat Reader, which means you can type into the boxes, save the file, and either upload it through COFS or print and mail it.
To file online, create or sign in to an account at the Corporations Online Filing System, search your entity by CID or name, and choose “Restoration” from the available filings. COFS prefills your entity name and CID, walks you through each field, and accepts payment by credit card. Online filers receive a stamped certificate by email within minutes when expedited service is selected.
Mail filers send the signed original to the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing Bureau, Corporations Division, P.O. Box 30054, Lansing, MI 48909. In-person walk-in filers go to 2501 Woodlake Circle, Okemos, MI 48864, where same-day expedited service is available at the counter. Do not send the form to any other LARA address — for example, the licensing bureau in downtown Lansing — because routing errors add weeks to processing.
Step-by-Step: How to Fill Out Form CSCL/CD-2000 Line by Line
The form has a header block, six numbered articles, a signature block, and a bottom panel for the preparer’s contact information. Walk through them in the order printed on the form, because COFS and the LARA examiner read in that order, and skipping ahead causes mismatches between sections.
Header: Identification Number Box (Top Right)
This box asks for the six-digit Corporate Identification Number (CID) assigned by LARA when the corporation was originally formed. Type the number exactly as it appears on the entity’s existing record in the LARA database, with no dashes, no spaces, and no leading zeros omitted. For example, Maria Lopez of Lopez Roofing, Inc. enters 800123456 in the upper-right box because that is the CID printed on her original Articles of Incorporation.
A common edge case is when the corporation has used multiple names over its life — perhaps it amended its name a decade ago — and the filer is unsure which CID is current. The CID never changes even when the name changes, so use the same six-digit number that has followed the entity since formation. The most common mistake on this field is entering the FEIN instead of the CID, and the direct consequence is that LARA cannot match the filing to any record and returns it unfiled, costing two to three weeks. A misconception is that LARA will “look up” the right number if you leave it blank — it will not, and a blank CID box is grounds for immediate rejection.
Article I: Corporate Name
Article I asks for the exact corporate name on file with LARA at the time of dissolution, including the punctuation and the corporate ending word. Type the name in capital letters across the line, matching the LARA record character-for-character, including commas and periods. Maria Lopez writes LOPEZ ROOFING, INC. on the Article I line because that is precisely how her name appears in the LARA Business Entity Search.
The nuance here is the lost-name scenario. If, during the lapse, another entity registered a name that conflicts with yours, you cannot restore under the original name and must add an Article VI amendment changing the name as part of the same filing. The most common mistake on Article I is dropping the comma before “Inc.” or substituting “Incorporated” for “Inc.” — LARA treats these as different names, and the mismatch sends the filing back. A misconception is that minor punctuation differences are forgiven; they are not, because LARA’s database matches names exactly.
Article II: Statement of Restoration
Article II is a pre-printed declaration stating that the corporation desires to be restored to good standing under Section 922 of the Act. There is nothing to fill in here in most versions of the form, but you must read the text and confirm that it accurately reflects your intention before signing. Maria Lopez reads the printed statement and confirms it matches her purpose, then moves on without writing anything.
The edge case is when a filer is restoring after a much longer lapse — say, eight or ten years — and is unsure whether Section 922 still applies; it does, because Michigan does not impose a hard outer time limit on restoration, though the practical complications grow with time. The most common mistake is striking through, initialing, or “correcting” the printed Article II language, which voids the form because LARA requires the standard text to be unaltered. A misconception is that you must sign Article II separately; you do not, because the single signature at the end covers all six articles.
Article III: Certification of Existing Annual Reports
Article III is where you certify that all delinquent annual reports have been filed and all required fees have been paid as a condition of restoration. The form requires the corporation to have already submitted the missing annual reports — they are filed in the same envelope or in the same COFS session — and Article III is the attestation that this has been done. Maria Lopez, whose corporation missed three annual reports for 2022, 2023, and 2024, files all three on Form CSCL/CD-2700 first, then signs CSCL/CD-2000 confirming the catch-up filings.
The nuance is partial-year filings. If the corporation was formed in mid-year and the first missed report covers a partial period, you still owe the full $25 fee for that year because Michigan does not prorate annual report fees. The most common mistake is filing CSCL/CD-2000 before the back annual reports clear, which causes the restoration to be rejected because Article III becomes a false certification. A misconception is that “filing” the back reports means simply enclosing them in the envelope — LARA must actually process and accept them, which is automatic when they are submitted together but is not automatic when they were sent separately weeks earlier.
Article IV: Resident Agent and Registered Office
Article IV requires the current resident agent’s name and the Michigan street address of the registered office. Type the resident agent’s full legal name on the first line and the registered office street address — including city, ZIP, and the word “Michigan” — on the second line. Maria Lopez enters MARIA G. LOPEZ as the resident agent and 412 Industrial Drive, Grand Rapids, MI 49503 as the registered office address.
The edge case involves a P.O. Box. Michigan law requires a physical street address for the registered office, so if the resident agent uses a mailing P.O. Box, you must still list a street address here, even if mail is forwarded elsewhere. The most common mistake on Article IV is listing only a P.O. Box, and the consequence is automatic rejection because the registered office must be a street location where service of process can be made. A misconception is that the resident agent must be an attorney or a commercial registered-agent service; any Michigan resident over 18 with a Michigan street address can serve.
Article V: Effective Date (Optional)
Article V lets you request a delayed effective date up to 90 days after the LARA filing date. Most filers leave this blank, which makes the restoration effective immediately upon LARA’s acceptance. If you want a future effective date — for example, to align with a fiscal-year start — write the date in MM/DD/YYYY format on the line provided. Maria Lopez leaves Article V blank because she wants the restoration effective today.
The nuance is that a delayed effective date pushes the restoration of corporate powers to that future date, which means the corporation remains technically dissolved during the gap and cannot, for example, sign contracts as a Michigan corporation in the interim. The most common mistake is requesting an effective date more than 90 days out, which is statutorily impossible under MCL 450.1131 and causes rejection. A misconception is that a delayed effective date can be retroactive to cover acts taken during dissolution; it cannot, because Michigan only allows forward-looking delayed dates.
Article VI: Other Provisions (Including Name Change if Needed)
Article VI is a catch-all box for any additional provisions, most commonly a corporate name change forced by a name conflict during the lapse. If your original name is still available, leave Article VI blank. If it is not, type the new corporate name and the standard amendment language, such as “Article I of the Articles of Incorporation is hereby amended to change the corporate name to LOPEZ ROOFING SERVICES, INC.”
The edge case is a substantive amendment unrelated to the name — for example, a change in registered purpose or stock structure — which can be combined with restoration through Article VI to save a separate filing fee. The most common mistake is using Article VI to “explain” the lapse with a narrative apology, which LARA ignores and which clutters the public record. A misconception is that you must use Article VI to confirm restoration; you do not, because Article II already does that.
Signature Block
The signature block requires the signature, printed name, and title of an officer or director of the corporation. Sign in blue or black ink for paper filings, type the printed name below the signature line, and check the title box (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, or Director) or write the title on the line. Maria Lopez signs her name, prints Maria G. Lopez below it, and writes President as her title.
The nuance is multi-officer corporations, where any single officer or director can sign — you do not need a board resolution or multiple signatures, though a contemporaneous board resolution is good practice for governance reasons. The most common mistake is signing with a digital image on a paper filing that LARA expects to be wet-ink, which causes the document to be returned for an original signature. A misconception is that the resident agent must sign; the resident agent has no signing authority for restoration unless they also hold an officer or director title.
Preparer Information (Bottom Panel)
The bottom panel asks for the name, business telephone number, and return address of the person who prepared the document so LARA knows where to send the stamped copy and any rejection notice. Type the preparer’s name, daytime phone, and mailing address in the boxes provided. Maria Lopez fills in her own name, her cell number (616) 555-0142, and her business address because she prepared the form herself.
The edge case is when an attorney or paralegal prepares the form for a client; in that case, list the law firm’s contact details so the stamped copy goes to the firm rather than to the client’s home. The most common mistake is leaving this panel blank, which means LARA has no return address and the stamped certificate goes into a backlog queue. A misconception is that the preparer must be licensed; anyone — including the corporation’s officer — can prepare and sign as preparer.
Three Filled-Out Examples Using Real Scenarios
The three scenarios below show the most common fact patterns LARA examiners see on CSCL/CD-2000 filings. Each scenario follows one named filer through the form from header to signature.
Scenario 1: Maria Lopez — Small Roofing Corporation, Three Missed Annual Reports
Maria runs Lopez Roofing, Inc., a Grand Rapids profit corporation that missed three years of annual reports while she dealt with a family medical crisis. She owes three $25 reports plus the $50 restoration fee, and she wants 24-hour expedited service.

| Total Paid | $50 + $50 + $100 (same-day expedite) = $200 |
Scenario 3: Janet Reyes — Professional Service Corporation, Original Name Taken
Janet’s Reyes Dental, P.C. was dissolved for non-filing and, during the lapse, another dentist registered “Reyes Dental, P.C.” Janet must restore under a new name through Article VI.
| Form Section | What Janet Enters |
|---|---|
| Identification Number | 800789012 |
| Article I — Corporate Name | REYES DENTAL, P.C. |
| Article II — Statement of Restoration | (Pre-printed; left as is) |

| Total Paid | $50 + $100 (4 × $25) + $50 (24-hour) = $200 |
How to File the Completed Form
You can file CSCL/CD-2000 through four channels, and each channel has its own fee structure, payment method, and proof-of-filing receipt. Pick the channel that matches your urgency and your comfort with online portals.
Online via COFS. Sign in to the Corporations Online Filing System, select your entity, choose Restoration, upload the back annual reports, pay the $50 restoration fee plus $25 per missed year by credit card, and download the stamped certificate. Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days; expedited tiers add to the base fee — $50 for 24-hour, $100 for same-day, $500 for 2-hour, and $1,000 for 1-hour processing under the LARA expedited service schedule. Save the PDF receipt as your proof of filing.
By mail. Print the signed form and the back annual reports, attach a check payable to “State of Michigan” for the total cure amount, and mail to Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Corporations Division, P.O. Box 30054, Lansing, MI 48909. Standard mail processing runs 7–10 business days. Keep a stamped copy of your filing and the canceled check as proof.
In person. Walk in to 2501 Woodlake Circle, Okemos, MI 48864, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on business days. Same-day and 2-hour service is available at the counter, with payment by check, credit card, or CC-Cash account. The counter clerk hands you the stamped certificate before you leave.
By commercial expedite courier. Some filers use FedEx or UPS to the physical Okemos address with a return label, paired with the 1-hour expedited fee, to compress processing into a single business day. Proof of filing is the courier delivery receipt plus the LARA stamped certificate.
What Happens After You File
Once LARA accepts the filing, the corporation is restored to good standing retroactive to the date of dissolution under MCL 450.1925, which means contracts signed during the lapse, lawsuits filed during the lapse, and tax returns filed during the lapse are all validated as if the corporation never lost existence. LARA emails or mails a stamped certificate, and the entity’s status on the LARA Business Entity Search flips from “Automatically Dissolved” to “Active” within 24 hours of acceptance.
After acceptance, your obligations restart immediately. The next annual report is due by May 15 of the following year on Form CSCL/CD-2700, and the $25 annual fee resumes its normal cadence. Tax-clearance issues with the Michigan Department of Treasury do not block restoration but should be addressed quickly, because the Treasury can assess back franchise tax penalties separately from the LARA filing.
If LARA rejects the filing, you receive a written deficiency notice listing the exact problem — usually a missing annual report, an unsigned form, or an incorrect fee. You have 90 days to cure and resubmit without paying the restoration fee twice, but you do owe any new annual reports that came due during the cure window.
Mistakes to Avoid When Filling Out the Form
Each mistake below has triggered a real LARA rejection, and each one is preventable with a careful read-through before you sign.
- Entering the FEIN instead of the CID in the identification number box, which prevents LARA from matching the filing to your record.
- Misspelling or repunctuating the corporate name in Article I, which causes a name-mismatch rejection.
- Filing CSCL/CD-2000 without the back annual reports, which makes Article III a false certification and voids the filing.
- Listing a P.O. Box as the registered office in Article IV, which violates Michigan’s street-address rule.
- Underpaying the cure amount by even one dollar, which causes the entire packet to be returned unprocessed.
- Using a wet-ink signature image on a paper filing, which LARA treats as an unsigned document.
- Requesting an Article V effective date more than 90 days out, which exceeds the statutory cap.
- Striking through the pre-printed Article II text, which voids the certification.
- Sending the filing to the wrong LARA address, which adds two to three weeks of routing delay.
- Failing to update the resident agent when the original agent has moved or resigned, which leaves you with an invalid registered office on day one of restoration.
- Skipping the preparer panel, which leaves LARA without a return address for the stamped certificate.
- Adding narrative explanations or apologies in Article VI, which clutters the record and is ignored.
Do’s and Don’ts
These rules of thumb come from LARA examiner feedback and are the difference between a smooth filing and a returned packet.
- Do download the form fresh from the LARA library before each filing, because version stamps change.
- Do verify the corporate name letter-for-letter against the LARA Business Entity Search before signing.
- Do file every back annual report in the same envelope or COFS session as the restoration certificate.
- Do pay the restoration fee, the back-year fees, and the expedited fee in a single combined payment.
- Do keep a stamped copy of the certificate in your corporate minute book as proof of restoration.
- Do check the LARA database 48 hours after filing to confirm the status flipped to “Active.”
- Don’t assume the original corporate name is still available after a long lapse; check first.
- Don’t sign Article II separately or alter its pre-printed language.
- Don’t mail to any LARA address other than P.O. Box 30054 for mail filings.
- Don’t request expedited service after the filing has been submitted; it must be selected upfront.
- Don’t use the form for nonprofit corporations or LLCs; they have separate restoration forms.
- Don’t delay restoration if creditors are pursuing the corporation, because personal-liability exposure grows with each day of dissolution.
Pros and Cons of Filing on Your Own vs. With Help
Filing CSCL/CD-2000 pro se is realistic for many small business owners, but the calculation changes when the entity has back tax issues, contested contracts, or a name conflict.
Pros of filing pro se:
- Saves $300–$1,500 in attorney or service-company fees on a routine restoration.
- Forces the owner to learn the corporation’s filing history, which surfaces other compliance gaps.
- Faster turnaround when COFS is used directly without an intermediary.
- Full control over expedited-service decisions and timing.
- No engagement letter, retainer, or scope-of-work negotiation needed.
Cons of filing pro se:
- One missed back annual report or one wrong dollar amount returns the entire packet.
- No professional review of name conflicts before filing.
- No coordination with Michigan Treasury on tax clearance issues that can surface after restoration.
- No guidance on whether to combine restoration with a name change, registered-agent change, or amendment.
- No malpractice coverage if the filing fails and contracts signed during the lapse are challenged by counterparties.

FAQs
Q: Does Michigan have a deadline by which I must file CSCL/CD-2000 after dissolution? No. Michigan does not impose an outer time limit on restoration under MCL 450.1922, but practical complications like name loss and creditor claims grow with delay.
Q: Will my corporation’s contracts signed during dissolution be valid after restoration? Yes. Restoration under MCL 450.1925 validates acts taken during the lapse retroactive to the date of dissolution.
Q: Do I have to file all missed annual reports before LARA will restore the corporation? Yes. Article III certification is false unless every missing annual report is filed and every fee paid in the same submission as CSCL/CD-2000.
Q: Can I list a P.O. Box as the registered office in Article IV? No. Michigan requires a physical street address for the registered office because service of process must be deliverable in person.
Q: Should I write the FEIN or the Corporate ID number in the top-right identification box? No, not the FEIN. The box requires the six-digit Corporate ID number assigned by LARA at formation, which is searchable on the Business Entity Search.
Q: Is a digital signature acceptable on a mailed paper CSCL/CD-2000? No. Paper filings require a wet-ink signature; digital images cause the form to be returned as unsigned.
Q: Can I leave Article V blank if I want immediate restoration? Yes. A blank Article V makes the restoration effective on LARA’s filing date, which is what most filers want.
Q: Do I need a board resolution before signing CSCL/CD-2000? No. Any current officer or director can sign without a formal resolution, though a contemporaneous resolution is good governance.
Q: Can I change my corporate name in the same filing as restoration? Yes. Article VI can carry an amendment changing the name, which is required if your original name was taken during the lapse.
Q: Will LARA refund my $50 restoration fee if my filing is rejected? No. The fee is generally non-refundable, but you have 90 days to cure deficiencies without paying the fee again.
Q: Does restoration clear unpaid Michigan Treasury taxes automatically? No. LARA restoration does not resolve Treasury obligations; you must address franchise tax and other state tax balances separately.
Q: Can a foreign corporation use CSCL/CD-2000 to restore its Michigan certificate of authority? No. Foreign corporations use Form CSCL/CD-560, not CSCL/CD-2000, which is reserved for domestic profit corporations.
Q: How fast can I get the stamped certificate back? Yes, very fast is possible. The 1-hour expedited tier through in-person filing returns the stamped certificate within 60 minutes for $1,000 above the base fee.
Q: Do I write my own name or the corporation’s name on the signature line? Yes, your own name. The signature line takes the individual officer’s signature; the corporate name appears only in Article I.
