Florida LLC Foreign Registration in Utah

To do business in Utah, an LLC formed in Florida registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $59 in state fees. Utah also wants Florida's Certificate of Status ($5), dated within 90 days. We file it with the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code using your Florida records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

How Florida companies register with Utah

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

Will your Florida name work for Utah?

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

Your Utah agent and the Florida one

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

Yearly filings: Utah and Florida

Each year your LLC files Florida's Annual Report ($138.75) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Florida plus Utah comes to $305.75 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Florida to Utah

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

Registering a Utah company in Florida

An LLC formed in Utah that registers with Florida files Form CR2E027 with $125 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($12) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Florida to Utah

Does my Florida company need to register in Utah?

Yes, once a Florida 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 $5 to Florida for the Certificate of Status, $263 in all (checkout is $59 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Florida's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Utah wants Florida's Certificate of Status ($5), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Florida and Utah?

$305.75 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $138.75 to Florida and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah 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 Utah LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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