From Delaware to Utah, step by step

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

Will your Delaware name work for Utah?

If another Utah company uses the Delaware name, an alternate name is allowed. We check your exact Delaware name against Utah's records before filing.

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

Yearly filings: Utah and Delaware

Each year your corporation files Delaware's Annual Franchise Tax Report ($50) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Delaware plus Utah comes to $217 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

Common questions: Delaware to Utah

Does my Delaware company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Utah registration cost?

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

What are the yearly costs for Delaware and Utah?

$217 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $50 to Delaware and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

Yes: the Delaware registered agent stays, and ours covers Utah for year one.

Will Utah 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 Utah corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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