Useful Information
Find answers to the most common questions about the New York LLC Transparency Act and how NYLTA.com™ can help you stay compliant.
1. What is the New York LLC Transparency Act (NYLTA)?
The New York LLC Transparency Act (NYLTA), effective January 1, 2026, requires all New York LLCs—including foreign LLCs registered to do business in the state—to file ownership information with the New York Department of State (NYDOS).
Every LLC must submit either a Beneficial Ownership Disclosure or an Exemption Attestation, confirming its compliance status under the law.
The NYLTA aligns with federal transparency efforts to prevent the use of anonymous or shell companies for illicit activity and to strengthen trust in New York’s business environment.
2. Who is required to comply with NYLTA?
All LLCs formed in New York and foreign LLCs registered to do business in the state are required to comply with the New York LLC Transparency Act (NYLTA).
Every LLC must file either a Beneficial Ownership Disclosure or an Exemption Attestation with the New York Department of State — even if the company qualifies for one of the 23 exemptions outlined under the federal Corporate Transparency Act (CTA).
3. What is a ‘beneficial owner’?
A beneficial owner is any individual who either:
● Directly or indirectly owns 25 percent or more of the ownership interests of the LLC, or
● Exercises substantial control over the company (for example, a managing member or executive).
4. What information needs to be reported?
Each beneficial owner’s:
● Full legal name
● Date of birth
● Current business or residential address
● A unique identifying number (from a driver’s license, passport, or other government-issued ID)
🔒 Note: All information is securely submitted to the New York Department of State on your behalf.
Exempt entities must instead file a brief Attestation of Exemption confirming their qualifying status.
5. Is the information submitted under NYLTA public?
No. Under the New York LLC Transparency Act, beneficial ownership information will be maintained in a secure, non-public database by the New York Department of State.
The information is not publicly available, except in limited cases — for example, if required by law enforcement, pursuant to a court order, or with the LLC’s consent. LLCs may also apply for a confidentiality exemption if disclosure could create a privacy or safety risk.
6. Are there exemptions?
Yes — but they are narrow. The NYLTA exemptions mirror those in the federal CTA, including:
● Banks, credit unions, and insurance companies
● SEC-registered entities
● Large operating companies with more than 20 full-time employees, over $5 million in annual U.S. revenue, and a physical U.S. office
⚠️ Important:
Even if your LLC qualifies for an exemption, you are still required to file an Exemption Attestation with the New York Department of State, which we file for you.
⚠️ Bottom line:
Most small businesses, real-estate holding LLCs, and single-member LLCs do not qualify for exemptions and must file a Beneficial Ownership Disclosure instead.
No payment is required until official filings open January 1, 2026.
