How Idaho companies register with Vermont

Order the Idaho certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Idaho separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. Vermont counts 30 days from the day Idaho issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Vermont registered agent, with your Idaho name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Idaho certificate comes first; then the Vermont filing goes in. Once Vermont approves it, the Idaho company can do business there.

Your Idaho name and Vermont's rules

Your Vermont agent and the Idaho one

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

Yearly filings: Vermont and Idaho

Each year your corporation files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Vermont's Annual Report ($250). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Idaho plus Vermont comes to $399 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Idaho to Vermont

An LLC formed in Idaho files its own registration with Vermont ($155 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Vermont's Annual Report ($170). See the LLC filing.

Questions Idaho owners ask about Vermont

Does my Idaho company need to register in Vermont?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$354 at checkout plus $10 to Idaho for the Certificate of Existence, $364 in all (checkout is $155 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Idaho's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Vermont wants Idaho's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than 30 days old at filing.

How long does the Vermont registration take?

Vermont's online processing takes less than one business day, once Idaho's certificate is in hand.

$399 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, nothing to Idaho and $250 to Vermont for the yearly reports.

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

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

Will Vermont 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 Vermont corporation instead?

Yes, but Idaho keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($60), and the original keeps Idaho's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

Idaho companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Vermont's report stays due alongside Idaho's filings.
