From Connecticut to Indiana, step by step

Order the Connecticut certificate
The Certificate of Legal Existence ($50) is ordered from Connecticut separately; it is not part of our Indiana order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). Indiana accepts it within 60 days of Connecticut's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file State Form 56369
It lists us as your Indiana registered agent, next to your Connecticut name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Connecticut certificate comes first; then the Indiana filing goes in. After approval, your Connecticut LLC is registered with Indiana.

$304 at checkout plus $50 to Connecticut for the Certificate of Legal Existence, $354 in all (checkout is $105 in state fees plus our $199).

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Connecticut's report ($80) and Indiana's report ($32, every two years).

What if I don't register with Indiana?

A Connecticut 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 Connecticut 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 Connecticut keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Indiana's Business Entity Report ($32), and the original keeps Connecticut's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Indiana later?

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