Faster business filings come with extra fees

Beginning July 1, 2026, Iowa’s Secretary of State must offer faster business-document filing when a filer requests it. Extra fees are $200 for one-hour service and $125 for same-day service; existing two-day and five-day fees remain $50 and $15. Filers pay these charges for each filing, on top of the regular filing fee. The Secretary must provide written confirmation when the expedited filing is made. The money collected goes into the Business Administration Fund.
