How Texas companies register with Utah

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

Your Texas name and Utah's rules

If another Utah company uses the Texas name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Utah's records for Texas's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Utah and Texas

Questions Texas owners ask about Utah

Does my Texas company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout; Utah may also want Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Texas and Utah?

$167 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, nothing to Texas and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my Texas name?

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

Can I form a new Utah corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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