From Florida to Utah, step by step

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

Will your Florida name work for Utah?

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

Agents: Utah and Florida

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

Yearly filings: Utah and Florida

Each year your corporation files Florida's Annual Report ($150) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Florida plus Utah comes to $317 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Florida to Utah

An LLC formed in Florida files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Status ($5)). After that come Florida's Annual Report ($138.75) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). See the LLC filing.

Registering a Utah company in Florida

A corporation formed in Utah that registers with Florida files Form CR2E007 with $70 in state fees. See that filing.

Questions Florida owners ask about Utah

Does my Florida company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout; Utah may also want Florida's Certificate of Status, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Florida and Utah?

$317 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $150 to Florida and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my Florida name?

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

Can I form a new Utah corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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