How Georgia companies register with Indiana

Order the Georgia certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Georgia separately; it is not part of our Indiana order. Ordered from Georgia on filing day, it easily meets Indiana's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file State Form 56369
It names us as your Indiana registered agent, with your Georgia name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Georgia delays the Indiana filing. After approval, your Georgia LLC is registered with Indiana.

Does Indiana require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Indiana LLC instead?

How do I withdraw from Indiana later?

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