How New Jersey companies register with Idaho

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

Your New Jersey name and Idaho's rules

If Idaho's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the New Jersey company. We check your exact New Jersey name against Idaho's records before filing.

Your Idaho agent and the New Jersey one

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

Yearly filings: Idaho and New Jersey

Each year your corporation files New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, New Jersey plus Idaho comes to $224 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, New Jersey to Idaho

An LLC formed in New Jersey files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same, plus the Standing Certificate ($50)). After that come New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Idaho into New Jersey

A corporation formed in Idaho that registers with New Jersey files New Jersey's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10). See that filing.

Will Idaho accept my New Jersey name?

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

Can I form a new Idaho corporation instead?

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

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