Utah registers a corporation from Hawaii as a foreign corporation on an online registration (no form number), with $59 in state fees. Utah may ask for Hawaii's Good Standing Certificate ($5).

How Hawaii companies register with Utah

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

Will your Hawaii name work for Utah?

If another Utah company uses the Hawaii name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Utah's records for Hawaii's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Utah and Hawaii

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

Yearly filings: Utah and Hawaii

Each year your corporation files Hawaii's Annual Report ($15) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Hawaii plus Utah comes to $182 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Hawaii to Utah

An LLC formed in Hawaii files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same, plus the Good Standing Certificate ($5)). After that come Hawaii's Domestic Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form C5) ($12.50) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). See the LLC filing.

Questions Hawaii owners ask about Utah

Does my Hawaii company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register a Hawaii corporation in Utah?

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

What are the yearly costs for Hawaii and Utah?

$182 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $15 to Hawaii and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my Hawaii name?

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

Can I form a new Utah corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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