From New Hampshire to Idaho, step by step

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

Will your New Hampshire name work for Idaho?

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

Your Idaho agent and the New Hampshire one

New Hampshire and Idaho both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for New Hampshire; ours takes Idaho's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Idaho and New Hampshire

Each year your corporation files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, New Hampshire plus Idaho comes to $249 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, New Hampshire to Idaho

An LLC formed in New Hampshire files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($5)). After that come New Hampshire's Annual Report ($102) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the LLC filing.

Common questions: New Hampshire to Idaho

Does my New Hampshire company need to register in Idaho?

Yes, once a New Hampshire business operates there; Idaho registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Idaho registration cost?

$302.50 at checkout; Idaho may also want New Hampshire's Certificate of Good Standing, 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 New Hampshire's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for New Hampshire and Idaho?

$249 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $100 to New Hampshire and nothing to Idaho for the yearly reports.

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

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

Will Idaho accept my New Hampshire name?

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

Can I form a new Idaho corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

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