Hawaii LLC Foreign Registration in Missouri

To do business in Missouri, an LLC formed in Hawaii registers there on Form LLC 4, with $105 in state fees. Missouri also wants Hawaii's Good Standing Certificate ($5), dated within 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporations Division from your Hawaii records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Hawaii to Missouri, step by step

Order the Hawaii certificate
The Good Standing Certificate ($5) is ordered from Hawaii separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. Missouri accepts it within 60 days of Hawaii's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form LLC 4
It names us as your Missouri registered agent, with your Hawaii name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Hawaii certificate comes first; then the Missouri filing goes in. After approval, your Hawaii LLC is registered with Missouri.

We search Missouri's records for Hawaii's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Missouri agent and the Hawaii one

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

Yearly filings: Missouri and Hawaii

Hawaii wants the Domestic Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form C5) every year ($12.50); Missouri has no annual report for LLCs. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Hawaii to Missouri

A corporation formed in Hawaii files Form Corp 42 with Missouri ($155 in state fees, plus the Good Standing Certificate ($5)). After that come Hawaii's Annual Report ($15) and Missouri's Corporate Registration Report ($15). See the corporation filing.

Registering a Missouri company in Hawaii

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

Common questions: Hawaii to Missouri

Does my Hawaii company need to register in Missouri?

Yes, once a Hawaii business operates there; Missouri law lists 7 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Missouri 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: Missouri wants it ($5), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Hawaii and Missouri?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Hawaii's report ($12.50) and no Missouri yearly report.

What if I don't register with Missouri?

A Hawaii company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Missouri can add a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Missouri require a registered agent?

Yes: the Hawaii registered agent stays, and ours covers Missouri for year one.

Can I form a new Missouri LLC instead?

Yes, but Hawaii keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no Missouri yearly report, and the original keeps Hawaii's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from Missouri later?

Hawaii companies leave by filing a Cancellation of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, both the Missouri registration and Hawaii's filings stay in place.
