From Hawaii to Indiana, step by step

Order the Hawaii certificate
The Good Standing Certificate ($5) is ordered from Hawaii separately; it is not part of our Indiana order. Indiana counts 60 days from the day Hawaii issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file State Form 56369
It names us as your Indiana registered agent, with your Hawaii name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Hawaii's certificate is in hand, Indiana's filing goes in. After approval, your Hawaii LLC is registered with Indiana.

Common questions: Hawaii to Indiana

Does my Hawaii company need to register in Indiana?

Yes, once a Hawaii business operates there; Indiana law lists 12 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Indiana registration cost?

$304 at checkout plus $5 to Hawaii for the Good Standing Certificate, $309 in all (checkout is $105 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Hawaii's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Indiana wants it ($5), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Hawaii and Indiana?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Hawaii's report ($12.50) and Indiana's report ($32, every two years).

What if I don't register with Indiana?

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

How do I withdraw from Indiana later?

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