How Idaho companies register with Connecticut

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

Will your Idaho name work for Connecticut?

We search Connecticut's records for Idaho's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Connecticut agent and the Idaho one
