How Nevada companies register with Utah

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

Will your Nevada name work for Utah?

If Utah's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Nevada company. We search Utah's records for Nevada's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Utah agent and the Nevada one

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

Staying in good standing in Nevada and Utah

Nevada wants the Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent every year; Utah wants the Annual Report / Annual Renewal every year ($18). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Nevada to Utah

An LLC formed in Nevada files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50)). After that come Nevada's periodic report ($350) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). See the LLC filing.

Registering a Utah company in Nevada

Common questions: Nevada to Utah

Does my Nevada company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout; Utah may also want Nevada's Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Nevada and Utah?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nevada's report (fee set by the state) and Utah's report ($18).

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my Nevada name?

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

Can I form a new Utah corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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