How Minnesota companies register with Indiana

Order the Minnesota certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($5) is ordered from Minnesota separately; it is not part of our Indiana order. Ordered from Minnesota on filing day, it easily meets Indiana's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file State Form 56369
It names us as your Indiana registered agent, with your Minnesota name and formation date and the certificate attached. Minnesota issues the certificate instantly, so the Indiana filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Minnesota LLC is registered with Indiana.

Does Indiana require a registered agent?

Yes: the Minnesota registered agent stays, and ours covers Indiana for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Indiana LLC instead?

How do I withdraw from Indiana later?

Minnesota companies leave by filing a Statement of Withdrawal; until then, Indiana's report stays due alongside Minnesota's filings.
