How Colorado companies register with Indiana

Order the Colorado certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing (free) is ordered from Colorado separately; it is not part of our Indiana order. Ordered from Colorado on filing day, it easily meets Indiana's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file State Form 56369
It names us as your Indiana registered agent, with your Colorado name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Colorado delays the Indiana filing. After approval, your Colorado LLC is registered with Indiana.

Your Indiana agent and the Colorado one

Colorado and Indiana both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Colorado; ours takes Indiana's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Colorado and Indiana

Colorado wants the Periodic Report every year ($25); Indiana wants the Business Entity Report every two years ($32). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

An LLC formed in Indiana that registers with Colorado files Colorado's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees; no Indiana certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Colorado owners ask about Indiana

Does my Colorado company need to register in Indiana?

Yes, once a Colorado business operates there; Indiana law lists 12 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Indiana registration cost?

$304 at checkout, plus Colorado's Certificate of Good Standing, which is free.

Do I need Colorado's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Indiana wants it (free), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Colorado and Indiana?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Colorado's report ($25) and Indiana's report ($32, every two years).

What if I don't register with Indiana?

A Colorado company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Indiana can add a civil penalty of up to $10,000.

Does Indiana require a registered agent?

Yes: the Colorado registered agent stays, and ours covers Indiana for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Indiana LLC instead?

Yes, but Colorado keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Indiana's Business Entity Report ($32), and the original keeps Colorado's Periodic Report.

How do I withdraw from Indiana later?

Colorado companies leave by filing a Statement of Withdrawal; until then, Indiana's report stays due alongside Colorado's filings.
