Idaho LLC Foreign Registration in Missouri

Missouri registers an LLC from Idaho as a foreign LLC on Form LLC 4, with $105 in state fees. Missouri also wants Idaho's Certificate of Existence ($10), dated within 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporations Division using your Idaho records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Idaho to Missouri, step by step

Order the Idaho certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Idaho separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. Missouri accepts it within 60 days of Idaho'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 Idaho name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Idaho's certificate is in hand, Missouri's filing goes in. After approval, your Idaho LLC is registered with Missouri.

Your Missouri agent and the Idaho one

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

Yearly filings: Missouri and Idaho

Idaho wants the Annual Report every year (no fee); Missouri has no annual report for LLCs. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Idaho to Missouri

A corporation formed in Idaho files Form Corp 42 with Missouri ($155 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Missouri's Corporate Registration Report ($15). See the corporation filing.

Registering a Missouri company in Idaho

An LLC formed in Missouri that registers with Idaho files Idaho's registration (no form number) with $103.50 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($10) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Idaho to Missouri

Does my Idaho company need to register in Missouri?

Yes, once an Idaho 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 $10 to Idaho for the Certificate of Existence, $314 in all (checkout is $105 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Idaho's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Missouri wants Idaho's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Idaho and Missouri?

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

What if I don't register with Missouri?

An Idaho 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 Idaho registered agent stays, and ours covers Missouri for year one.

Can I form a new Missouri LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Missouri later?

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