From New York to Utah, step by step

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

Your New York name and Utah's rules

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

Agents: Utah and New York

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

Yearly filings: Utah and New York

New York wants the Biennial Statement every two years ($9); Utah wants the Annual Report / Annual Renewal every year ($18). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

Common questions: New York to Utah

Does my New York company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register a New York corporation in Utah?

$258 at checkout; Utah may also want New York's Certificate of Status, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for New York and Utah?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), New York's report ($9, every two years) and Utah's report ($18).

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my New York name?

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

Can I form a new Utah corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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