Indiana LLC Foreign Registration in Missouri

Missouri registers an LLC from Indiana as a foreign LLC on Form LLC 4, with $105 in state fees. Missouri also asks for Indiana's Certificate of Existence ($15), no older than 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporations Division from your Indiana records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Indiana to Missouri, step by step

Order the Indiana certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($15) is ordered from Indiana separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. Missouri counts 60 days from the day Indiana issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form LLC 4
It names us as your Missouri registered agent, with your Indiana name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Indiana's certificate is in hand, Missouri's filing goes in. After approval, your Indiana LLC is registered with Missouri.

Questions Indiana owners ask about Missouri

Does my Indiana company need to register in Missouri?

How much does it cost to register an Indiana LLC in Missouri?

$304 at checkout plus $15 to Indiana for the Certificate of Existence, $319 in all (checkout is $105 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Indiana's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Missouri wants Indiana's Certificate of Existence ($15), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Indiana and Missouri?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Indiana's report ($32, every two years) and no Missouri yearly report.

What if I don't register with Missouri?

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

Can I form a new Missouri LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Missouri later?

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