Hawaii LLC Foreign Registration in Utah

To do business in Utah, an LLC formed in Hawaii registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $59 in state fees. Utah also wants Hawaii's Good Standing Certificate ($5), dated within 90 days. We file it with the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code from your Hawaii records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Hawaii companies register with Utah

Order the Hawaii certificate
The Good Standing Certificate ($5) is ordered from Hawaii separately; it is not part of our Utah order. Utah 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 Utah registered agent, with your Hawaii name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Hawaii's certificate is in hand, Utah's filing goes in. Once Utah approves it, the Hawaii company can do business there.

Agents: Utah and Hawaii

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

Staying in good standing in Hawaii and Utah

Each year your LLC files Hawaii's Domestic Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form C5) ($12.50) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Hawaii plus Utah comes to $179.50 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Hawaii to Utah

A corporation formed in Hawaii files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same). After that come Hawaii's Annual Report ($15) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Utah into Hawaii

An LLC formed in Utah that registers with Hawaii files Form FLLC-1 with $51 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($12) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Hawaii to Utah

Does my Hawaii company need to register in Utah?

Yes, once a Hawaii business operates there; Utah law lists 14 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does it cost to register a Hawaii LLC in Utah?

$258 at checkout plus $5 to Hawaii for the Good Standing Certificate, $263 in all (checkout is $59 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Hawaii's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Utah wants it ($5), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Hawaii and Utah?

$179.50 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $12.50 to Hawaii and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah 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 Utah LLC instead?

Yes, but Hawaii keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18), and the original keeps Hawaii's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

Hawaii companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside Hawaii's filings.
