How Vermont companies register with Utah

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

Your Vermont name and Utah's rules

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

Your Utah agent and the Vermont one

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

Yearly filings: Utah and Vermont

Each year your corporation files Vermont's Annual Report ($60) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Vermont plus Utah comes to $227 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Vermont to Utah

An LLC formed in Vermont files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($35)). After that come Vermont's Annual Report ($45) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Utah into Vermont

A corporation formed in Utah that registers with Vermont files Vermont's registration (no form number) with $155 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($12) dated within 30 days. See that filing.

Questions Vermont owners ask about Utah

Does my Vermont company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout; Utah may also want Vermont's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Vermont and Utah?

$227 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $60 to Vermont and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my Vermont name?

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

Can I form a new Utah corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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