From Arizona to Vermont, step by step

Order the Arizona certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Arizona separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. Vermont 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 Vermont registered agent, with your Arizona name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Arizona certificate comes first; then the Vermont filing goes in. After approval, your Arizona LLC is registered with Vermont.

Your Arizona name and Vermont's rules

Your Vermont agent and the Arizona one

Vermont calls it a registered agent; Arizona says statutory agent. Your current statutory agent stays for Arizona; ours takes Vermont's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Arizona and Vermont

Arizona has no annual report for LLCs; Vermont wants the Annual Report every year ($170). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

Common questions: Arizona to Vermont

Does my Arizona company need to register in Vermont?

Yes, once an Arizona business operates there; Vermont law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Vermont registration cost?

$354 at checkout plus $10 to Arizona for the Certificate of Good Standing, $364 in all (checkout is $155 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Arizona's certificate of good standing?

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

How long does the Vermont registration take?

Vermont's online processing takes less than one business day, once Arizona's certificate is in hand.

What are the yearly costs for Arizona and Vermont?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Arizona yearly report and Vermont's report ($170).

What if I don't register with Vermont?

An Arizona company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Vermont can add a penalty of $50 a day, up to $10,000 a year.

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

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

Will Vermont 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 Vermont LLC instead?

Yes, but Arizona keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($45), and Arizona has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

Arizona companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation; until then, Vermont's report stays due alongside Arizona's filings.
