How Florida companies register with Idaho

Order the Florida certificate
The Certificate of Status ($5) is ordered from Florida separately; it is not part of our Idaho order. Ordered from Florida on filing day, it easily meets Idaho's limit of 90 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Idaho registered agent, with your Florida name and formation date and the certificate attached. Florida issues the certificate instantly, so the Idaho filing can go in the same day. Once Idaho approves it, the Florida company can do business there.

Will your Florida name work for Idaho?

If Idaho's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Florida company. We search Idaho's records for Florida's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Idaho agent and the Florida one

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

Staying in good standing in Florida and Idaho

Each year your LLC files Florida's Annual Report ($138.75) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Florida plus Idaho comes to $287.75 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Florida to Idaho

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

The other way: Idaho into Florida

An LLC formed in Idaho that registers with Florida files Form CR2E027 with $125 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Florida to Idaho

Does my Florida company need to register in Idaho?

Yes, once a Florida 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 $5 to Florida for the Certificate of Status, $307.50 in all (checkout is $103.50 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Florida's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Idaho wants Florida's Certificate of Status ($5), 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; Florida's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Florida and Idaho?

$287.75 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $138.75 to Florida and nothing to Idaho for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Idaho?

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

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

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

Will Idaho accept my Florida name?

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

Can I form a new Idaho LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

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