From New York to Vermont, step by step

Order the New York certificate
The Certificate of Status ($25) is ordered from New York separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. Mail time from New York counts against Vermont's limit of 30 days, so the order allows for transit.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Vermont registered agent, with your New York name and formation date and the certificate attached. The New York certificate takes days to arrive, so the Vermont filing waits for it. After approval, your New York corporation is registered with Vermont.

Common questions: New York to Vermont

Does my New York company need to register in Vermont?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Vermont registration cost?

$354 at checkout plus $25 to New York for the Certificate of Status, $379 in all (checkout is $155 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need New York's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Vermont wants New York's Certificate of Status ($25), 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, plus mail time for New York's certificate before filing.

What are the yearly costs for New York and Vermont?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), New York's report ($9, every two years) and Vermont's report ($250).

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

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

Will Vermont 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 Vermont corporation instead?

Yes, but New York keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($60), and the original keeps New York's Biennial Statement.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

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