How Missouri companies register with Utah

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

Will your Missouri name work for Utah?

If another Utah company uses the Missouri name, an alternate name is allowed. We check your exact Missouri name against Utah's records before filing.

Your Utah agent and the Missouri one

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

Common questions: Missouri to Utah

Does my Missouri company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout; Utah may also want Missouri's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Missouri and Utah?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Missouri's report ($15, every two years) and Utah's report ($18).

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my Missouri name?

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

Can I form a new Utah corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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