Florida’s New Protected Series LLC Legislation: Part III
This Part III article is the third of a three-part series designed to give readers the “what, how, and why” of Florida’s new protected series LLC legislation (§§605.2101-605.2802 of the Florida Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act, F.S. Ch. 605).[1]
This article provides more in-depth guidance on continuing and new filings with the Florida Department of State (the department), which are required to form, administer, operate, and utilize a Florida protected series limited liability company (series limited liability company, series LLC, protected series LLC, or PSLLC), and to qualify, administer, operate, and utilize foreign series limited liability companies (or any series formed by a foreign series LLC) to conduct business in Florida.
The department has a goal of reducing paper filings by requiring certain filings to be submitted online and made electronically. The department has mandated that certain filings relating to Florida protected series LLCs must be submitted electronically online, including: 1) filing of a Florida protected series designation (whether as part of initially establishing a Florida protected series LLC, or designating one or more additional Florida protected series to an already existing Florida protected series LLC); 2) filing of a statement of designation change (changing the name of an existing Florida protected series); 3) filing of articles of protected series dissolution (effectuating the dissolution of a Florida protected series in circumstances in which the entire Florida protected series LLC is not being dissolved); and 4) filing of a statement of designation cancellation (effectuating the cancellation of a Florida protected series after the dissolution and winding up process for the Florida protected series has been completed).
New Filings With the Department and Sample Documents Provided by the Department
To establish a Florida protected series LLC and one or more protected series (PS), or to qualify a foreign series LLC or any series of a foreign series LLC, practitioners will begin by filing the appropriate forms with the department. These new forms, scheduled to be available on and after July 1, 2026, are in many ways different from forms practitioners have been using with respect to: 1) formation and operation of domestic Florida limited liability companies; 2) qualification and operation in Florida of foreign limited liability companies; and 3) qualification and operation in Florida of foreign series limited liability companies, including one or more series of a foreign series LLC. These new forms will require that practitioners include additional and/or different information to enable one or more Florida protected series to be created and to enable foreign series to be qualified to do business in Florida.
While the department may make sample forms available on its SunBiz website, practitioners would be well-advised to carefully check any documents being filed against the new statutory protected series LLC requirements found in §§605.2101-605.2802 of the Florida Revised Limited Liability Company Act.
Formation
A Florida protected series LLC must first be formed as a Florida limited liability company in accordance with F.S. Ch. 605. There is no change in the formation requirements for a non-series Florida LLC, which requires the filing of fairly minimal articles of organization with the department.
For existing Florida limited liability companies formed before July 1, 2026, there is no requirement to file new or amended articles of organization to become a protected series LLC. An existing Florida LLC can become a Florida protected series LLC on or after July 1, 2026, by filing one or more “protected series designations” with the department, according to §605.2201.
For a new Florida limited liability company formed on or after July 1, 2026, which desires to establish one or more Florida protected series, it may do so from inception of its existence, but only by first filing the articles of organization for the Florida LLC with the department and then, after it has confirmation that the articles of organization have been accepted and filed, by filing a protected series designation with the department.[2]
For each Florida protected series, a protected series designation needs to be filed electronically.[3] Each protected series designation must be signed electronically by an authorized representative of the Florida protected series LLC, must state the name of the Florida protected series LLC (which name must be distinguishable from the name of any other named Florida protected series LLC and the name of any other entity), and each Florida protected series’ name must begin with the name of the PSLLC, must contain the phrase “protected series” or the abbreviation “P.S.” or “PS,” and must include such other information as the department may require.
The protected series designation does not need to specify a registered agent for the Florida protected series (or have a registered agent accept responsibilities with respect to such Florida protected series) because the designated registered agent for the Florida protected series LLC is automatically deemed to serve as the registered agent for each Florida protected series of that particular Florida protected series LLC.
A Florida protected series is established when the protected series designation filing takes effect under §605.0207 (effective date and time).[4]
Amending a Florida Protected Series Designation
As with any filing made with the department, there may be times when it becomes appropriate to amend a Florida protected series designation, such as if the name of the Florida protected series LLC or information about the designated protected series or its management is being changed.
Amendments to a protected series designation for a Florida protected series are made by filing a “statement of designation change” with the department. The statement of designation change must be signed by an authorized representative of the Florida protected series LLC and must set forth: 1) the name of the Florida protected series LLC; 2) the name of the Florida protected series to which the change(s) applies; 3) each change to the protected series designation; and 4) a statement to the effect that each statement of designation change was approved by the affirmative vote or consent of the members of the Florida protected series LLC required in order to make such change.[5] If the only change being made is a change in the name of the Florida protected series, the statement of designation change must be completed online and submitted electronically.
Each statement of designation change made according to §605.2201(4) takes effect when the respective statement of designation change takes effect under the provisions of §605.0207.
Application for Certificate of Authority for a Foreign Series LLC and/or for One or More Foreign Protected Series of a Foreign Series LLC
Prior to the July 1, 2026, effective date of Florida’s new protected series LLC legislation, although many foreign series LLCs and foreign series have been transacting business in the state of Florida, there has been no explicit statutory provisions addressing requirements for such foreign series LLCs and foreign series to apply for the authority to transact business in Florida. In the past, the department adopted administrative rules for foreign series LLCs and foreign series, with respect to applications for authority to transact business in Florida.
Such previously adopted administrative rules required a foreign series seeking to transact business in Florida (and a foreign series LLC, if it separately was seeking to transact business in Florida) to submit an application for a certificate of authority and secure such certificate of authority in the same way that a foreign (non-series) LLC transacting business in Florida would submit an application and secure a certificate of authority to transact business in Florida.
Under Florida’s new protected series LLC legislation, this existing process of the department has essentially been incorporated by way of statutory language into new §605.2703. Under Florida’s new protected series LLC legislation, on and after July 1, 2026,[6] each foreign protected series[7] of the foreign series limited liability company transacting business in the state of Florida must submit its own application for a certificate of authority and secure a separate certificate of authority as if the foreign protected series was a foreign limited liability company formed separately from the foreign series limited liability company and its other foreign protected series.[8] The name of a foreign protected series applying for a certificate of authority to transact business in Florida must comply with the requirements set forth in §§605.0112 and 605.2202.
Moreover, if the foreign series LLC separately desires to transact business in the state of Florida, such foreign series LLC will be required to submit an application for its own certificate of authority. However, the foreign series LLC will not be required to submit its own application if only one or more of the foreign protected series of such foreign series LLC are transacting business in Florida and the foreign series LLC is not itself transacting any business in Florida.
To provide further guidance, §605.2703 not only cross references back to §§605.0903-605.0912 to address the method in which a foreign series LLC and one or more foreign protected series are to apply for, amend, or withdraw, a certificate of authority to transact business in Florida, but also includes a specific, more comprehensive list of the information that now must be included in an application for certificate of authority by a foreign protected series of a foreign series LLC.
In particular, the application for a certificate of authority for a foreign protected series must include: 1) The name of the foreign series LLC (including any required alternative name); 2) the governing jurisdiction of the foreign series LLC; 3) the name of the foreign series (including any required alternate name); 4) the governing jurisdiction of the foreign protected series; 5) all of the other information required under §605.0902; 6) any other information required by the department; 7) if the foreign series LLC has additional foreign protected series (beyond those applying for a Florida certificate of authority), the name, title, capacity, and street and mailing address of at least one person that has the authority to manage the foreign series LLC, and who knows the name and street and mailing address of: a) every other foreign protected series of that foreign series LLC; and b) the name(s) of each foreign protected series manager and the registered agent for service of process for each foreign protected series of the foreign series LLC.
It is important to note that the name of a foreign protected series applying for a certificate of authority to transact business in Florida must also comply with the requirements set forth in §605.0112 and in the new §605.2202. If the name of the foreign protected series does not comply with both of those sections and the foreign protected series does not want to change its name, the foreign protected series must instead comply with these naming requirements by using a compliant alternative name under §605.0906 and §865.09.
As is the case with any foreign LLC authorized to transact business in Florida, if a foreign series LLC or a foreign protected series authorized to transact business in Florida changes its name to one that does not comply with §605.0112, it may not thereafter transact business in Florida until it complies with §605.0906(1) and files an amendment to its certificate of authority under §605.0907.
To date, we understand that the department has not kept a separate count of the number of foreign series LLCs or the number of foreign series of a foreign series LLC, which have been authorized to transact business in Florida. That may change once all of the new Florida protected series filings are implemented by the department. It may also change after July 1, 2026, so all foreign series qualifying to do business in Florida will be counted and tracked by the department.
Certificate of Status
A certificate of status (sometimes referred to as an “active status certificate” and sometimes incorrectly referred to as a “good standing certificate”) for domestic limited liability companies and foreign limited liability companies that have qualified to transact business in Florida currently provided by the department under §605.0211 requires the payment of the requisite fee, and must set forth the following: 1) The name of the entity; 2) the date of organization or the date the entity was qualified to transact business in Florida; 3) the document number for the entity; 4) that the entity has paid all fees and penalties due to the department; 5) that the entity is current on the filing of its annual reports with the department; 6) that its status in Florida is active; and 7) that, as the case may be, it has not filed articles of dissolution or filed a certificate of withdrawal.
With respect to Florida protected series LLCs and foreign series limited liability companies qualified to transact business in Florida, the certificates of status available from and after July 1, 2026, are similar to traditional certificates of status for Florida limited liability companies and for foreign limited liability companies qualified to transact business in Florida.[9]
However, the certificates of status for a Florida protected series of a Florida protected series LLC or for a foreign protected series of a foreign limited liability company that has qualified to transact business in Florida look significantly different as they include more extensive information covering both the particular series and the series limited liability company under which the particular series exists, as more particularly outlined in the new statutory provision addressing such certificates of status.[10]
Domestic Protected Series
In order for the department to issue a certificate of status for a domestic protected series of a domestic protected series LLC, the department must have accepted and filed articles of organization for the domestic PSLLC and must have accepted and filed a protected series designation for the domestic PS. Additionally, the PSLLC must have met the annual report requirements relative to such PS as such requirements are established by the department, including the payment of all filing fees required by the department.
The issued certificate of status for the Florida protected series is required to state all the information set forth in §605.2205, which includes the following:
1) The name of the domestic protected series LLC;
2) the name of the domestic protected series (if the domestic PSLLC has multiple protected series, only the name of the domestic protected series for which the certificate of status is being issued will be identified; thus, if a certificate of status is needed for other domestic protected series of the domestic PSLLC, each certificate of status must be requested and issued separately);
3) that the domestic PSLLC was organized under the laws of Florida and the date of its organization;
4) that the domestic PS was designated under the laws of Florida and the date of its designation;
5) whether all fees and penalties due to the department both by the domestic PSLLC and by the subject domestic PS have been paid;
6) whether the domestic PSLLC’s most recent annual report required by §605.0212 has been filed by the department;
7) whether the domestic PSLLC’s most recent annual report includes the name of the subject domestic PS, unless: a) when the domestic PSLLC delivered the annual report for filing, the protected series designation pertaining to the subject domestic PS had not yet taken effect; or b) after the domestic PSLLC delivered the annual report for filing, the domestic PSLLC delivered to the department for filing a statement of designation change, which changes the name of the subject domestic PS;[11]
8) whether the department has administratively dissolved the domestic PSLLC or received a record notifying the department that the domestic PSLLC has been dissolved by judicial action under §605.0705;
9) whether the department has administratively dissolved the subject domestic PS or received a record notifying the department that the subject domestic PS has been dissolved by judicial action under §605.2501(4) or (5);
10) whether the department has filed articles of dissolution for the domestic PSLLC; and
11) whether the department has filed a statement of dissolution, termination, or relocation for the subject domestic PS.
Foreign Series
The department will issue a certificate of status for a foreign protected series of a foreign series limited liability company, if the department has accepted and filed[12] a certificate of authority to transact business in Florida for the respective foreign protected series of the foreign series LLC. In addition, the foreign series LLC must have satisfied the annual report requirements for each foreign protected series as set forth in §605.2206(4). The issued certificate of status for the respective foreign protected series of the foreign series LLC[13] must state the following:
1) The foreign series limited liability company’s name and any current alternative name adopted under §605.0906(1) for use in Florida.
2) The name of the subject foreign protected series of the foreign series limited liability company and any current alternative name adopted under §605.0906(1) for use in Florida.
3) That the respective foreign protected series of the foreign series limited liability company is authorized to transact business in Florida.
4) Whether all fees and penalties due to the department by the foreign series limited liability company (if any) and by the subject foreign protected series of the foreign series limited liability company have been paid.
5) Whether the foreign series limited liability company’s most recent annual report required by §605.0212 has been filed by the department.
6) Whether the foreign series limited liability company’s most recent annual report includes the name of the subject foreign protected series of the foreign series limited liability company, unless: a) when the foreign series limited liability company delivered the annual report for filing, the foreign protected series designation pertaining to the subject foreign protected series of the foreign series limited liability company had not yet taken effect; or b) after the foreign series limited liability company delivered the annual report for filing, the foreign series limited liability company delivered to the department for filing a statement of designation change that changes the name of the subject foreign protected series of the foreign series limited liability company.
7) Whether the department has: a) revoked the foreign series limited liability company’s certificate of authority or revoked the certificate of authority for the subject foreign protected series of the foreign series limited liability company; or b) filed and accepted a notice of withdrawal of the certificate of authority for the foreign series limited liability company or for the subject foreign protected series of the foreign series limited liability company.
Annual Reports
Annual reports for Florida protected series LLCs will be more involved than traditional annual reports for Florida LLCs and for foreign LLCs. The annual reports for Florida PSLLCs must include the information required by §605.0212 for Florida LLCs.
Note that no separate annual report will need to be filed for any domestic protected series. Rather, the information concerning each domestic PS associated with a Florida protected series LLC must be included in the annual report for the Florida PSLLC. With respect to annual reports for foreign series LLCs qualified to transact business in Florida, the filing requirements are different. Although the annual report for the foreign series LLC qualified to transact business in Florida must list in its annual report each of its foreign protected series that are qualified to transact business in Florida. In addition, each separate foreign protected series that is qualified to transact business in Florida must separately file its own separate annual report each year. This could be a potential trap for the unwary because if any separate foreign protected series that is qualified to transact business in Florida fails to file such separate annual report (even if the foreign series LLC listed such foreign protected series in its own annual report) by the applicable deadline, the foreign protected series will be considered to have failed to file its annual report and its certificate of authority to transact business will be revoked. The annual reports for foreign series LLCs qualified to transact business in Florida must include the information required by F.S. §605.0212 and the annual reports for foreign protected series qualified to transact business in Florida must include the information required by F.S. §605.2206.[14]
Domestic PSLLC
In the annual report required by §605.0212, a domestic protected series LLC must include the name of each protected series of the domestic PSLLC: 1) for which the domestic PSLLC has previously delivered to the department for filing a protected series designation;[15] and 2) that has not dissolved and completed winding up. Note that the failure of a domestic PSLLC to include the name of a particular PS in its annual report prevents the issuance of a certificate of status for such PS, but does not otherwise affect the existence or operation of the particular PS.
Foreign Series Limited Liability Company
In the annual report required by §605.0212, a foreign series limited liability company must include the name of each foreign protected series of such foreign series limited liability company: 1) for which such foreign series limited liability company has previously delivered to the department for filing an application for a certificate of authority to transact business in this state, which has been accepted by the department; and 2) which has not withdrawn its certificate of authority to transact business in Florida.[16] The failure of a foreign series limited liability to include in its filed annual report the name of a particular foreign protected series required to be included in its annual report prevents the issuance of a certificate of status pertaining to such foreign protective series.
Filings for Dissolution and Completion of Winding Up
The filings for dissolution and for completion of winding up for a domestic protected series LLC (i.e., by filing articles of dissolution and filing of a statement of termination, respectively) is largely the same as the filing for a dissolution and completion of winding up of a domestic limited liability company.[17] However, the dissolution of a domestic PSLLC means that each protected series of such PSLLC also must dissolve and complete winding up, and may require additional information to be included in the filed articles of dissolution and/or in the filed statement of termination.
If only a particular protected series of a domestic protected series LLC is being dissolved and wound up, the PSLLC would file articles of protected series dissolution and, upon completion of the winding up of the PS, may elect to file (but is not required to file) a statement of designation cancellation with the department, setting forth the information required by §605.2502(3).[18]
Filings To Effectuate a Permitted Merger of a Florida Protected Series LLC With and Into Another Florida Protected Series LLC
As noted in the Part I and Part II articles relating to Florida’s new protected series law,[19] we noted there are strict restrictions on when a Florida protected series LLC can be merged with and into another Florida PSLLC.[20] In those limited circumstances in which a merger of a Florida PSLLC is permitted, the articles of merger must comply with §605.1025 (which applies to all mergers involving Florida limited liability companies), and also must include as an attachment all of the following records, each of which is to become effective when the merger becomes effective:
1) For each protected series of a merging Florida protected series LLC being terminated as a result of the merger, a statement of designation, cancellation, and termination signed by the non-surviving merging Florida protected series LLC;
2) for each protected series of a non-surviving Florida protected series LLC which after the merger will be a relocated protected series: 1) a statement of relocation signed by the non-surviving Florida PSLLC which contains the names of the Florida PSLLC and the names of the PS both before and after the merger; and 2) a statement of protected series designation signed by the surviving Florida PSLLC; and
3) for a protected series being established by the surviving Florida PSLLC as a result of the merger, a protected series designation signed by the surviving Florida PSLLC.
Statement of Relocation
A “relocated” Florida protected series in a permitted merger that is a Florida protected series of a non-surviving Florida PSLLC continues in uninterrupted existence after the permitted merger as a protected series of the Florida PSLLC that survived the merger.[21]
As part of the articles of merger being filed in connection with such a permitted merger, a statement of relocation must be prepared and filed for each relocated Florida protected series. As noted above, each statement of relocation must be signed by an authorized representative of the non-surviving Florida PSLLC, and must contain the name of the Florida PSLLC and, with respect to each relocated Florida protected series, the name of the relocated Florida PS as it was named before, and the name of the relocated Florida PS as it is being named after, the merger.
Filings To Address Other Mergers in Which a Foreign Series LLC Is a Party to the Merger
In situations in which: 1) a foreign series LLC (that is qualified to transact business in Florida and/or has one or more foreign series that are qualified to transact business in Florida) is being merged into a Florida protected series LLC; 2) a Florida protected series LLC is being merged into a foreign series LLC; or 3) a foreign series LLC (that is qualified to transact business in Florida and/or has one or more foreign series that are qualified to transact business in Florida) is being merged into another foreign series LLC (whether in the same foreign jurisdiction or another foreign jurisdiction), the involved Florida entities and involved foreign protected series that are not the surviving entity lose their ability to transact business in Florida by virtue of the merger, and each such previously qualified entity and/or foreign protected series must reapply for a certificate to transact business by submitting one or more new filings using the new respective names and updated required information.
This could be a trap for the unwary and practitioners involved in such complex merger transactions should be careful to include such relocations and reapplications to transact business in their closing checklists.
[1] Part I provided background describing what a protected series LLC is, addressed how a protected series LLC differs from a Florida limited liability company that is not a protected series LLC, explained how and where the concept of a “protected series” originated, addressed why Florida added the new protected series LLC entity to Florida’s existing choice of business entity list, detailed key aspects of a Florida protected series LLC (a protected series LLC or PSLLC), and identified how a Florida protected series LLC is formed, how a protected series (protected series or PS) of a Florida protected series is established, and how the Florida protected series LLC and its protected series must be operated in order to secure the benefits of desired liability shields. It also identified special non-uniform rules applicable to the association of real property to a protected series LLC or a protected series of a protected series LLC, addressed how a protected series LLC and/or a protected series of a protected series LLC is dissolved and wound up, and addressed restrictions on entity type transactions (such as mergers, interest exchanges, conversions, and domestications) for a protected series of a protected series LLC. Part II addressed how to form a Florida protected series LLC, how to designate a Florida protected series, addressed key issues for drafting the operating agreement for a Florida PSLLC, and addressed some of the key risks, limitations, and methods of potential mitigation associated with a Florida PSLLC.
[2] If the articles of organization and the protected series designation(s) are to be submitted simultaneously, in order to make sure they are filed in the correct order, they will need to be submitted in paper form, along with clear written instructions to file the articles of organization first. If instead the documents are going to be electronically filed, the articles of organization should be filed first and then, only once there is confirmation that such electronic filing has been accepted, the protected series designation(s) should be submitted for filing.
[3] Fla. Stat. §605.2201. The Department offers the flexibility of filing a separate protected series designation covering the establishment of only one protected series or filing a protected series designation that covers the establishment of multiple protected series in a single filing. However, if the filer elects to establish multiple protected series in a single protected Series designation filing, the filing fee accompanying such filing must include $25 for each protected series being designated.
[4] See Fla. Stat. §605.2201(3).
[5] Fla. Stat. §605.2201(4).
[6] For foreign series LLCs and foreign series of such foreign series LLCs that, as of the July 1, 2026, effective date of the new protected series LLC legislation, have already obtained a certificate of authority to transact business in Florida, they will not have to re-apply for a certificate of authority. However, it would be advisable to file an amendment to the certificate of authority of such foreign series LLC (using a form prepared by the filer) to add the associated series designation(s) together with the details concerning each such series as are required by the new protected series LLC legislation. The department does not currently offer a sample form for such an amendment to the certificate of authority of such foreign series LLC.
[7] In Florida’s new protected series LLC legislation, the definition of “foreign protected series,” although including the word “protected,” is broadly defined to include and encompass the various types of series (or other cells, accounts, or parts) established and/or utilized under foreign laws (“Foreign protected series” means a series, protected series, protected cell, segregated account, or similar part of a foreign limited liability company, however the part is denominated, which is established under law that limits, or limits if conditions specified under law are satisfied, the liability of the part to a creditor of the foreign company or of another part of the structure, regardless of whether the law uses the term “protected series.”).

[9] Fla. Stat. §§605.0211(1) and (2).
[10] Fla. Stat. §605.2205.
[11] If the PSLLC’s annual report was filed prior to the filing of a particular protected series designation or prior to the filing of a statement of designation change (which changes the name of the PS), it is expected that the department will require that an amended annual report be filed reflecting the updated information in order for a proper certificate of status to be issued for the affected PS.
[12] The applicable provision in §605.2205(2) inadvertently used the terminology “filed” rather than “accepted and filed,” but the department will proceed as if “filed” means “accepted and filed.” At some point, a glitch bill may be presented to the legislature for adoption to further clarify this requirement.
[13] This certificate of status for a foreign series of a foreign series limited liability company is separate and apart from a certificate of status for a foreign limited liability company or a foreign series limited liability company. Certificates of status for a foreign limited liability company or a foreign series limited liability company continue to be governed by, and issued under Fla. Stat. §605.0211(2).
[14] The annual report for a domestic PSLLC must list all protected series associated with such domestic PSLLC (including any dissolved or relocated protected series associated with such domestic PSLLC), identifying each of them as having been dissolved or relocated, as the case may be. The annual report for a foreign series limited liability company that is qualified to transact business in Florida may list all of its foreign protected series that are qualified to transact business in Florida but need not identify whether any such foreign protected series has been dissolved or relocated.
[15] The applicable provision in §605.2206(1)(a) inadvertently failed to include the phrase “which has been accepted by the department” as is included in §605.2205(3(a), but the department will proceed as if such acceptance reference was intended to be referenced and was contemplated by the concept of “filing.” At some point, a glitch bill may be presented to the legislature for adoption to further clarify this requirement by adding the words “which has been accepted by the department” at the end of §605.2206(1)(a).
