Idaho LLC Foreign Registration in Utah

To do business in Utah, an LLC formed in Idaho registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $59 in state fees. Utah also wants Idaho's Certificate of Existence ($10), dated within 90 days. We file it with the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code using your Idaho records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

How Idaho companies register with Utah

Order the Idaho certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Idaho separately; it is not part of our Utah order. Utah accepts it within 90 days of Idaho'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 Idaho name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Idaho's certificate is in hand, Utah's filing goes in. Once Utah approves it, the Idaho company can do business there.

Will your Idaho name work for Utah?

If another Utah company uses the Idaho name, an alternate name is allowed. We check your exact Idaho name against Utah's records before filing.

Agents: Utah and Idaho

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

Yearly filings: Utah and Idaho

Each year your LLC files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Idaho plus Utah comes to $167 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Idaho to Utah

A corporation formed in Idaho files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same). After that come Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). See the corporation filing.

Registering a Utah company in Idaho

An LLC formed in Utah that registers with Idaho files Idaho's registration (no form number) with $103.50 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($12) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Idaho to Utah

Does my Idaho company need to register in Utah?

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

How much does it cost to register an Idaho LLC in Utah?

$258 at checkout plus $10 to Idaho for the Certificate of Existence, $268 in all (checkout is $59 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Idaho's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Utah wants Idaho's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Idaho and Utah?

$167 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, nothing to Idaho and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my Idaho name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Idaho name at home.

Can I form a new Utah LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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