How it works, week by week
No mystery, no black box. Here's the entire publication process — what we do, what you do (almost nothing), and when each piece happens.
| When | What happens | You | Us |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | You place the order | Enter your LLC's exact legal name and Albany County address; pay once. ~2 minutes. | We verify the address is really in Albany County before charging you. |
| Day 1–2 | Human review & drafting | Nothing. | A real person drafts your §206 notice and checks it character-for-character against Department of State records — the #1 cause of rejected filings. |
| Day 2–5 | Placement in both papers | Nothing. | We submit and pay both county-designated papers: the Times Union (daily) and The Altamont Enterprise (weekly), and confirm the first run date. |
| Weeks 1–6 | The six-week run | Watch your private status page, if you like. | Your notice runs once each week in both papers. We track every insertion so a missed week never invalidates the run. |
| Weeks 6–8 | Affidavits | Nothing. | Each paper issues a notarized Affidavit of Publication. We collect both — they arrive weeks apart and are easy to lose track of. |
| Week 8 | Your packet arrives | Print, sign the certificate, enclose a $50 check to the Department of State, and mail one envelope. ~10 minutes. | We assemble the completed Certificate of Publication with both affidavits attached and email it with exact instructions and the mailing address. |
After you mail the packet
The Department of State processes your Certificate of Publication and your LLC's §206 requirement is satisfied — permanently. It's a one-time obligation, not an annual one. Keep a copy of everything; we also keep your documents available from your status page. Curious what the certificate itself is? Here's the full explainer.
The two human checkpoints
Nothing publishes under your LLC's legal name without a person approving it first, and nothing is sent to you without a person verifying the packet is complete. Automation does the tracking; humans make the calls that matter. That's deliberate — a legal notice is not the place for "the algorithm handled it."
Two minutes of your time starts all of it.
