Utah registers an LLC from Connecticut as a foreign LLC on an online registration (no form number), with $59 in state fees.

From Connecticut to Utah, step by step

Order the Connecticut certificate
The Certificate of Legal Existence ($50) is ordered from Connecticut separately; it is not part of our Utah order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). Utah accepts it within 90 days of Connecticut's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Utah registered agent, next to your Connecticut name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Connecticut certificate comes first; then the Utah filing goes in. After approval, your Connecticut LLC is registered with Utah.

Agents: Utah and Connecticut

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

Yearly filings: Utah and Connecticut

Each year your LLC files Connecticut's Annual Report ($80) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Connecticut plus Utah comes to $247 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Connecticut to Utah

A corporation formed in Connecticut files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same). After that come Connecticut's Annual Report ($150) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Utah into Connecticut

An LLC formed in Utah that registers with Connecticut files Connecticut's registration (no form number) with $120 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($12) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Connecticut owners ask about Utah

Does my Connecticut company need to register in Utah?

Yes, once a Connecticut business operates there; Utah law lists 14 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout plus $50 to Connecticut for the Certificate of Legal Existence, $308 in all (checkout is $59 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Connecticut's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Connecticut and Utah?

$247 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $80 to Connecticut and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

Yes: the Connecticut registered agent stays, and ours covers Utah for year one.

Will Utah 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 Utah LLC instead?

Yes, but Connecticut keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18), and the original keeps Connecticut's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

Connecticut companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside Connecticut's filings.
