From Arizona to Idaho, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Idaho registered agent, next to your Arizona name and formation date. If Idaho wants the Arizona certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Arizona corporation is registered with Idaho.

Your Arizona name and Idaho's rules

If another Idaho company uses the Arizona name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Idaho's records for Arizona's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Idaho and Arizona

Idaho calls it a registered agent; Arizona says statutory agent. Your current statutory agent stays for Arizona; ours takes Idaho's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Idaho and Arizona

Each year your corporation files Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Arizona plus Idaho comes to $194 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Arizona to Idaho

An LLC formed in Arizona files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($10)). See the LLC filing.

Questions Arizona owners ask about Idaho

Does my Arizona company need to register in Idaho?

Yes, once an Arizona business operates there; Idaho registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Idaho calls it registration for Arizona corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does it cost to register an Arizona corporation in Idaho?

$302.50 at checkout; Idaho may also want Arizona's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, plus time for Arizona's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Arizona and Idaho?

$194 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $45 to Arizona and nothing to Idaho for the yearly reports.

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

Yes: the Arizona statutory agent stays, and ours covers Idaho for year one, with a street address there.

Will Idaho accept my Arizona name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Arizona name at home.

Can I form a new Idaho corporation instead?

Yes, but Arizona keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Arizona's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Arizona companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement; until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Arizona's filings.
