From Connecticut to Idaho, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Idaho registered agent, next to your Connecticut name and formation date. If Idaho wants the Connecticut certificate, it is ordered first. Once Idaho approves it, the Connecticut company can do business there.

Your Connecticut name and Idaho's rules

If Idaho's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Connecticut company. We check your exact Connecticut name against Idaho's records before filing.

Agents: Idaho and Connecticut

Connecticut and Idaho both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Connecticut; ours takes Idaho's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Idaho and Connecticut

Each year your corporation files Connecticut's Annual Report ($150) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Connecticut plus Idaho comes to $299 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

Questions Connecticut owners ask about Idaho

Does my Connecticut company need to register in Idaho?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Idaho registration cost?

$302.50 at checkout; Idaho may also want Connecticut's Certificate of Legal Existence, 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 Connecticut's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Connecticut and Idaho?

$299 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $150 to Connecticut and nothing to Idaho for the yearly reports.

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

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

Will Idaho accept my Connecticut name?

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

Can I form a new Idaho corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

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