What is DLC-9?
DLC-9 Statement of Correction for Rescission of Dissolution for Domestic LLC is the District of Columbia form a domestic limited liability company uses to rescind its voluntary dissolution, cancelling the dissolution within 120 days of its effective date.
The form is issued by the Corporations Division of the DC Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP). Under it, the LLC applies for a Certificate of Correction of the Filed Record under Title 29 of the D.C. Code (Business Organizations Act). The entity type and authority printed on the form are Domestic Filing Entity and § 29–807.06.
The filed record being corrected is always a statement of dissolution, which is already named in item 2. You enter the entity name, the date that statement was filed, and the name and signature of the Governor or Authorized Person who signed it. By filing, you confirm two statements: that all members of the company have consented to rescind the dissolution, and that the rescission is made under § 29–807.06.
A filing fee applies; the form refers you to the Corporate Fee Schedule posted online rather than printing an amount.
Who needs to file DLC-9?
A domestic limited liability company that has voluntarily dissolved and now wants to undo that dissolution uses Form DLC-9. The form is limited to this situation: it corrects a filed statement of dissolution for a domestic LLC, and it is available only within 120 days of the dissolution's effective date.
Conditions printed on the form:
- All members of the company must have consented to rescind the dissolution. Filing the form is your agreement that this is true.
- The form is signed by the Governor or Authorized Person who signed the filed record (the statement of dissolution), whose name goes in item 4.
- The signer agrees that anyone who makes a false statement can face criminal penalties, including a fine and imprisonment, under DCOC § 22-2405.
The form's entity type is Domestic Filing Entity. It does not describe a version for other kinds of entities, so use the DLCP Corporations Division's other forms for those.
When to file DLC-9
File Form DLC-9 within 120 days of the effective date of the LLC's voluntary dissolution. The form states that it allows a domestic LLC to cancel its dissolution only within that period.
The 120 days run from the effective date of the dissolution, not from the date you decide to rescind, so check the effective date of the statement of dissolution before you start. Item 2A asks for the date that statement was filed. The form prints no separate processing time.

- Entering the wrong date in item 2A instead of the date the statement of dissolution was filed.
- Having someone other than the Governor or Authorized Person who signed the filed record sign in item 4A.
- Mailing the form without the required payment; the form says to mail all forms and required payment together.
- Sending the mailing to a DC street address instead of the Corporations Division, PO Box 712300, Philadelphia, PA 19171-2300.
- Assuming the filing is free; the form refers you to the Corporate Fee Schedule posted online.
