From Missouri to Vermont, step by step

Order the Missouri certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Missouri separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. Vermont accepts it within 30 days of Missouri's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Vermont registered agent, with your Missouri name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Missouri's certificate is in hand, Vermont's filing goes in. Once Vermont approves it, the Missouri company can do business there.

Questions Missouri owners ask about Vermont

Does my Missouri company need to register in Vermont?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Vermont registration cost?

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

Do I need Missouri's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Vermont wants it ($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 Missouri's certificate is in hand.

What are the yearly costs for Missouri and Vermont?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Missouri's report ($15, every two years) and Vermont's report ($250).

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

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

Will Vermont 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 Vermont corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

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