From Idaho to Vermont, step by step

Order the Idaho certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Idaho separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. Vermont 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 Vermont registered agent, with your Idaho name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Idaho certificate comes first; then the Vermont filing goes in. Once Vermont approves it, the Idaho company can do business there.

Will your Idaho name work for Vermont?

Your Vermont agent and the Idaho one

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

Staying in good standing in Idaho and Vermont

Each year your LLC files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Vermont's Annual Report ($170). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Idaho plus Vermont comes to $319 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Idaho to Vermont

A corporation formed in Idaho files its own registration with Vermont ($155 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Vermont's Annual Report ($250). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Vermont into Idaho

An LLC formed in Vermont that registers with Idaho files Idaho's registration (no form number) with $103.50 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($35) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Will Vermont accept my Idaho name?

Can I form a new Vermont LLC instead?

Yes, but Idaho keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($45), and the original keeps Idaho's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

Idaho companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation; until then, Vermont's report stays due alongside Idaho's filings.
