To do business in Utah, a corporation formed in Idaho registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $59 in state fees. Utah may ask for Idaho's Certificate of Existence ($10).

From Idaho to Utah, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Utah registered agent, next to your Idaho name and formation date. If Utah wants the Idaho certificate, it is ordered first. Once Utah approves it, the Idaho company can do business there.

Will your Idaho name work for Utah?

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

Your Utah agent and the Idaho one

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

Yearly filings: Utah and Idaho

Each year your corporation files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Idaho plus Utah comes to $167 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Idaho to Utah

An LLC formed in Idaho files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Utah into Idaho

A corporation formed in Utah that registers with Idaho files Idaho's registration (no form number) with $103.50 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Idaho to Utah

Does my Idaho company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register an Idaho corporation in Utah?

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

What are the yearly costs for Idaho and Utah?

$167 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, nothing to Idaho and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my Idaho name?

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

Can I form a new Utah corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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