Having it done for you
Mainstay Filing prepares and files the annual report as part of $199 a year, with West Virginia’s fee passed through at cost. The agent-only plan ($149) does not include it. Your agent itself is a separate matter: changing it in West Virginia costs $15 (W. Va. Code § 31B-1-108).

Is a West Virginia “annual report due” letter from a company real?
Only the state sets the West Virginia fee and due date. A letter from anyone else asking for more than $25 includes that sender’s own charge.
