How Georgia companies register with Idaho

Order the Georgia certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Georgia separately; it is not part of our Idaho order. Ordered from Georgia 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 Georgia name and formation date and the certificate attached. Georgia issues the certificate instantly, so the Idaho filing can go in the same day. Once Idaho approves it, the Georgia company can do business there.

Questions Georgia owners ask about Idaho

Does my Georgia company need to register in Idaho?

Yes, once a Georgia business operates there; Idaho law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does it cost to register a Georgia LLC in Idaho?

$302.50 at checkout plus $10 to Georgia for the Certificate of Existence, $312.50 in all (checkout is $103.50 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Georgia's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Idaho wants Georgia's Certificate of Existence ($10), 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; Georgia's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Georgia and Idaho?

$209 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $60 to Georgia and nothing to Idaho for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Idaho?

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

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

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

Will Idaho accept my Georgia name?

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

Can I form a new Idaho LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

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