From Indiana to Idaho, step by step

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

Your Indiana name and Idaho's rules

If Idaho's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Indiana company. We check your exact Indiana name against Idaho's records before filing.

Your Idaho agent and the Indiana one

Indiana and Idaho both call it a registered agent. Idaho papers come to us; Indiana's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Indiana and Idaho

Indiana wants the Business Entity Report every two years ($32); Idaho wants the Annual Report every year (no fee). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Indiana to Idaho

An LLC formed in Indiana files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($15)). After that come Indiana's Business Entity Report ($32) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the LLC filing.

Common questions: Indiana to Idaho

Does my Indiana company need to register in Idaho?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$302.50 at checkout; Idaho may also want Indiana's Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, plus time for Indiana's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Indiana and Idaho?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Indiana's report ($32, every two years) and Idaho's report (no fee).

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

Yes: the Indiana registered agent stays, and ours covers Idaho for year one, with a street address there.

Will Idaho accept my Indiana name?

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

Can I form a new Idaho corporation instead?

Yes, but Indiana keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Indiana's Business Entity Report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Indiana companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement; until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Indiana's filings.
