From Arizona to Vermont, step by step

Order the Arizona certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Arizona separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. Vermont accepts it within 30 days of Arizona's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Vermont registered agent, with your Arizona name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Arizona certificate comes first; then the Vermont filing goes in. Once Vermont approves it, the Arizona company can do business there.

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

Will Vermont 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 Vermont corporation instead?

Yes, but Arizona keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($60), and the original keeps Arizona's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

Arizona companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Vermont's report stays due alongside Arizona's filings.
