How Delaware companies register with Idaho

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

Will your Delaware name work for Idaho?

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

Your Idaho agent and the Delaware one

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

Yearly filings: Idaho and Delaware

Each year your corporation files Delaware's Annual Franchise Tax Report ($50) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Delaware plus Idaho comes to $199 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Delaware to Idaho

An LLC formed in Delaware files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($50)). After that come Delaware's Annual LLC Tax ($400) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Idaho into Delaware

A corporation formed in Idaho that registers with Delaware files Delaware's registration (no form number) with $245 in state fees. See that filing.

Questions Delaware owners ask about Idaho

Does my Delaware company need to register in Idaho?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Idaho registration cost?

$302.50 at checkout; Idaho may also want Delaware'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 Delaware's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Delaware and Idaho?

$199 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $50 to Delaware and nothing to Idaho for the yearly reports.

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

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

Will Idaho accept my Delaware name?

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

Can I form a new Idaho corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

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