How Indiana companies register with Utah

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

Will your Indiana name work for Utah?

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

Agents: Utah and Indiana

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

Yearly filings: Utah and Indiana

Indiana wants the Business Entity Report every two years ($32); Utah wants the Annual Report / Annual Renewal every year ($18). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Indiana to Utah

An LLC formed in Indiana files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($15)). After that come Indiana's Business Entity Report ($32) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). See the LLC filing.

Questions Indiana owners ask about Utah

Does my Indiana company need to register in Utah?

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

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Indiana's report ($32, every two years) and Utah's report ($18).

Does Utah require a registered agent?

Will Utah 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 Utah corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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