How Utah companies register with Vermont

Order the Utah certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($12) is ordered from Utah separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. It comes as a short form ($12) or a long form ($20). Ordered from Utah on filing day, it easily meets Vermont's limit of 30 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Vermont registered agent, with your Utah name and formation date and the certificate attached. Utah issues the certificate instantly, so the Vermont filing can go in the same day. Once Vermont approves it, the Utah company can do business there.

Common questions: Utah to Vermont

Does my Utah company need to register in Vermont?

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Vermont registration cost?

$354 at checkout plus $12 to Utah for the Certificate of Existence, $366 in all (checkout is $155 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Utah's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Vermont wants Utah's Certificate of Existence ($12), 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; Utah's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing.

$417 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $18 to Utah and $250 to Vermont for the yearly reports.

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

Will Vermont accept my Utah name?

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

Can I form a new Vermont corporation instead?

Yes, but Utah keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($60), and the original keeps Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

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