The cost to incorporate in Alabama is $165.00 for standard filing; 24-hour incorporation is also available for an additional fee.

In addition to the cost to incorporate, Alabama offers a variety of fee-based business filings: amendments, restatement of articles, certification or copies of documents, certificates of existence, and others. More information on Alabama business filings can be found on the Secretary of State's website.

Many services are available online, but there are paper forms that can be submitted physically to the Secretary of State's office in Montgomery if you so desire. The Alabama Secretary of State's Business Entity Division is open during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays.
