From Arizona to Utah, step by step

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

Will your Arizona name work for Utah?

If Utah's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Arizona company. We search Utah's records for Arizona's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Utah and Arizona

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

Common questions: Arizona to Utah

Does my Arizona company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout; Utah may also want Arizona's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Arizona and Utah?

$212 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $45 to Arizona and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

Yes: the Arizona statutory agent stays, and ours covers Utah for year one.

Will Utah 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 Utah corporation instead?

Yes, but Arizona keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18), and the original keeps Arizona's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

Arizona companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of a Foreign Profit or Non-Profit Corporation; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside Arizona's filings.
