How Idaho companies register with Connecticut

Order the Idaho certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Idaho separately; it is not part of our Connecticut order. Connecticut counts 90 days from the day Idaho issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Connecticut registered agent, with your Idaho name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Idaho certificate comes first; then the Connecticut filing goes in. Once Connecticut approves it, the Idaho company can do business there.

Does Connecticut require a registered agent?

Can I form a new Connecticut LLC instead?

How do I withdraw from Connecticut later?

Idaho companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal (no state fee); until then, Connecticut's report stays due alongside Idaho's filings.
