How Florida companies register with Indiana

Order the Florida certificate
The Certificate of Status ($5) is ordered from Florida separately; it is not part of our Indiana order. Ordered from Florida on filing day, it easily meets Indiana's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file State Form 56369
It lists us as your Indiana registered agent, next to your Florida name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Florida delays the Indiana filing. Once Indiana approves it, the Florida company can do business there.

Do I need Florida's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Indiana wants Florida's Certificate of Status ($5), no more than 60 days old at filing.

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Florida's report ($138.75) and Indiana's report ($32, every two years).

What if I don't register with Indiana?

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

How do I withdraw from Indiana later?

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