From Idaho to Minnesota, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Minnesota registered agent, next to your Idaho name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Idaho first, so the Minnesota filing can go in right away. After approval, your Idaho LLC is registered with Minnesota.

Your Idaho name and Minnesota's rules

We check your exact Idaho name against Minnesota's records before filing.

Agents: Minnesota and Idaho

Idaho and Minnesota both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Idaho; ours takes Minnesota's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Minnesota and Idaho

Each year your LLC files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Minnesota's Annual Renewal (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Idaho plus Minnesota comes to $149 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Idaho to Minnesota

A corporation formed in Idaho files its own registration with Minnesota ($220 in state fees). After that come Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Minnesota's Annual Renewal ($115). See the corporation filing.

Registering a Minnesota company in Idaho

Common questions: Idaho to Minnesota

Does my Idaho company need to register in Minnesota?

Yes, once an Idaho business operates there; Minnesota law lists 8 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Minnesota registration cost?

$404 at checkout, with nothing to pay Idaho.

Do I need Idaho's certificate of good standing?

No, Minnesota takes the registration without it.

How long does the Minnesota registration take?

Minnesota's online processing takes 2 to 5 business days; nothing comes from Idaho first.

What are the yearly costs for Idaho and Minnesota?

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

What if I don't register with Minnesota?

An Idaho company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Minnesota require a registered agent?

Yes: the Idaho registered agent stays, and ours covers Minnesota for year one.

Can I form a new Minnesota LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Minnesota later?

Idaho companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of a Foreign Limited Liability Company ($35); until then, Minnesota's report stays due alongside Idaho's filings.
