How Wyoming companies register with Utah

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

Will your Wyoming name work for Utah?

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

Your Utah agent and the Wyoming one

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

Yearly filings: Utah and Wyoming

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

LLC or corporation, Wyoming to Utah

An LLC formed in Wyoming files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing (free)). After that come Wyoming's Annual Report ($61.44) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). See the LLC filing.

Questions Wyoming owners ask about Utah

Does my Wyoming company need to register in Utah?

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

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

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

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my Wyoming name?

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

Can I form a new Utah corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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