Two clocks run on every LLC filing: how fast we submit it (expedited: same business day; standard: 1–4 business days), and how fast your state reviews it once submitted. This page is about the second clock — each state's own typical processing time for standard online LLC filings.
Sourced from official state websites (linked below), verified July 2026. States change fees and timelines without notice — when in doubt, the official state site is the source of truth.
State | Typical online processing time |
1-3 business days for standard online formation filings (expedited service available for $100/next-business-day) | |

Approximately 9-15 business days for standard online Articles of Organization filings (ACC's own processing-times report has recently shown ~9-11 business days; commonly cited as 13-15); expedited tiers available (3-5 business days for $35, same-day, or 2-hour) | |

Effectively same-day to a few business days as of early July 2026 per the SOS's live 'Current Processing Dates' page (bizfile Online filings were being reviewed within ~2-4 calendar days of submission); this queue fluctuates daily/seasonally, so check the live page for today's cutoff.

A $50 expedited option can bring formation review down to ~24 hours. Note: the state's own processing-time page does not publish an exact day-count, so this is a range from third-party filers observing typical turnaround. | |
No fixed timeframe is published — the Division's own FAQ states regular (non-expedited) processing time 'varies based upon the volume of items received' and advises calling to find out the date currently being processed before deciding whether to pay for expedited service. Third-party filers report roughly 2-3 business days in normal periods, stretching to 1-2+ weeks during high-volume periods (e.g., around the June 1 franchise-tax deadline).
