Idaho registers an LLC from Hawaii as a foreign LLC on an online registration (no form number), with $103.50 in state fees.

From Hawaii to Idaho, step by step

Order the Hawaii certificate
The Good Standing Certificate ($5) is ordered from Hawaii separately; it is not part of our Idaho order. Idaho accepts it within 90 days of Hawaii's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Idaho registered agent, with your Hawaii name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Hawaii's certificate is in hand, Idaho's filing goes in. After approval, your Hawaii LLC is registered with Idaho.

Will your Hawaii name work for Idaho?

If Idaho's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Hawaii company. We check your exact Hawaii name against Idaho's records before filing.

Your Idaho agent and the Hawaii one

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

Staying in good standing in Hawaii and Idaho

Each year your LLC files Hawaii's Domestic Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form C5) ($12.50) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Hawaii plus Idaho comes to $161.50 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Hawaii to Idaho

A corporation formed in Hawaii files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same). After that come Hawaii's Annual Report ($15) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the corporation filing.

Registering an Idaho company in Hawaii

An LLC formed in Idaho that registers with Hawaii files Form FLLC-1 with $51 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Hawaii to Idaho

Does my Hawaii company need to register in Idaho?

Yes, once a Hawaii 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 Hawaii for the Good Standing Certificate, $307.50 in all (checkout is $103.50 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Hawaii's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Idaho wants it ($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, once Hawaii's certificate is in hand. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Hawaii and Idaho?

$161.50 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $12.50 to Hawaii and nothing to Idaho for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Idaho?

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

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

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

Will Idaho accept my Hawaii name?

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

Can I form a new Idaho LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

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