How Connecticut companies register with Idaho

Order the Connecticut certificate
The Certificate of Legal Existence ($50) is ordered from Connecticut separately; it is not part of our Idaho order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). Idaho accepts it within 90 days of Connecticut's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Idaho registered agent, with your Connecticut name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Connecticut certificate comes first; then the Idaho filing goes in. Once Idaho approves it, the Connecticut company can do business there.

Your Idaho agent and the Connecticut one

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

Yearly filings: Idaho and Connecticut

Each year your LLC files Connecticut's Annual Report ($80) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Connecticut plus Idaho comes to $229 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Connecticut to Idaho

A corporation formed in Connecticut files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same). After that come Connecticut's Annual Report ($150) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Idaho into Connecticut

An LLC formed in Idaho that registers with Connecticut files Connecticut's registration (no form number) with $120 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Connecticut to Idaho

Does my Connecticut company need to register in Idaho?

Yes, once a Connecticut business operates there; Idaho law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Idaho registration cost?

$302.50 at checkout plus $50 to Connecticut for the Certificate of Legal Existence, $352.50 in all (checkout is $103.50 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Connecticut's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Idaho wants Connecticut's Certificate of Legal Existence ($50), no more than 90 days old at filing.

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, once Connecticut's certificate is in hand. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Connecticut and Idaho?

$229 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $80 to Connecticut and nothing to Idaho for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Idaho?

A Connecticut company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

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

Will Idaho accept my Connecticut name?

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

Can I form a new Idaho LLC instead?

Yes, but Connecticut keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Connecticut's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Connecticut companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement ($20); until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Connecticut's filings.
