How Idaho companies register with New Hampshire

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

Each year your corporation files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Idaho plus New Hampshire comes to $249 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.
