How Maryland companies register with Utah

Order the Maryland certificate
The Certificate of Status ($20) is ordered from Maryland separately; it is not part of our Utah order. An instant Maryland certificate reaches Utah only hours old, well inside the limit of 90 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Utah registered agent, with your Maryland name and formation date and the certificate attached. Maryland issues the certificate instantly, so the Utah filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Maryland LLC is registered with Utah.

Each year your LLC files Maryland's Business Entity Annual Report (Form 1) ($300) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Maryland plus Utah comes to $467 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Maryland to Utah

A corporation formed in Maryland files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same). After that come Maryland's periodic report ($300) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). See the corporation filing.

Common questions: Maryland to Utah

Does my Maryland company need to register in Utah?

How much does it cost to register a Maryland LLC in Utah?

Do I need Maryland's certificate of good standing?

Does Utah require a registered agent?

Yes: the Maryland resident agent stays, and ours covers Utah for year one.

Will Utah accept my Maryland name?

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

Can I form a new Utah LLC instead?

Yes, but Maryland keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18), and the original keeps Maryland's Business Entity Annual Report (Form 1).

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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