A One Person Corporation offers a single stockholder a corporate form, but it still has officers and reportorial duties. The Securities and Exchange Commission now lists a dedicated Form for Appointment of Officers for OPCs. According to the SEC’s published reportorial requirements, the form is strictly required beginning 23 March 2026. An incorporator should treat this as part of the post-incorporation sequence rather than assuming the certificate completes every SEC filing.

The initial and subsequent deadlines

The SEC states that the initial form is due within twenty days from approval of the Certificate of Incorporation. A succeeding appointment must be reported within five days. These periods are short enough that an OPC should settle who will serve, obtain their consent and details, and prepare the filing process before incorporation is submitted.

The Revised Corporation Code permits an OPC to have a single stockholder, who is its sole director and president, but other officer functions have separate requirements. Appointment documents should reflect actual governance, not merely a name supplied for convenience. The company should check the current form, role qualifications, and any supporting documents against SEC guidance.

Maintain a consistent corporate record

An existing OPC should compare the current officer lineup with its SEC file, internal resolutions, and bank mandates. A resignation or replacement should trigger an immediate calendar review. Inconsistent records can delay transactions or create uncertainty over who may act for the corporation.

The SEC’s reportorial requirements page is the primary source for the form and deadlines. Our company formation practice can review incorporation and subsequent filings.
