Arizona LLC Foreign Registration in Utah

Utah registers an LLC from Arizona as a foreign LLC on an online registration (no form number), with $59 in state fees. Utah also wants Arizona's Certificate of Good Standing ($10), dated within 90 days. We file it with the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code using your Arizona records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

How Arizona companies register with Utah

Order the Arizona certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Arizona separately; it is not part of our Utah order. Utah accepts it within 90 days of Arizona's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Utah registered agent, with your Arizona name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Arizona certificate comes first; then the Utah filing goes in. Once Utah approves it, the Arizona company can do business there.

Your Arizona name and Utah's rules

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

Agents: Utah and Arizona

Utah calls it a registered agent; Arizona says statutory agent. Utah papers come to us; Arizona's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Arizona and Utah

Arizona has no annual report for LLCs; Utah wants the Annual Report/Renewal every year ($18). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Arizona to Utah

A corporation formed in Arizona files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same). After that come Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Utah into Arizona

An LLC formed in Utah that registers with Arizona files Form L025 with $153.30 in state fees and a $35 required expedite, plus the Certificate of Existence ($12) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Arizona to Utah

Does my Arizona company need to register in Utah?

Yes, once an Arizona business operates there; Utah law lists 14 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout plus $10 to Arizona for the Certificate of Good Standing, $268 in all (checkout is $59 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Arizona's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Utah wants it ($10), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Arizona and Utah?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Arizona yearly report and Utah's report ($18).

Does Utah require a registered agent?

Yes: the Arizona statutory agent stays, and ours covers Utah for year one.

Will Utah accept my Arizona name?

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

Can I form a new Utah LLC instead?

Yes, but Arizona keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18), and Arizona has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

Arizona companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside Arizona's filings.
