How Arkansas companies register with Indiana

Order the Arkansas certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($25) is ordered from Arkansas separately; it is not part of our Indiana order. Ordered from Arkansas on filing day, it easily meets Indiana's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file State Form 56369
It lists us as your Indiana registered agent, next to your Arkansas name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Arkansas issues the certificate instantly, so the Indiana filing can go in the same day. Once Indiana approves it, the Arkansas company can do business there.
