How Missouri companies register with Indiana

Order the Missouri certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Missouri separately; it is not part of our Indiana order. Indiana accepts it within 60 days of Missouri's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file State Form 56369
It names us as your Indiana registered agent, with your Missouri name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Missouri's certificate is in hand, Indiana's filing goes in. After approval, your Missouri LLC is registered with Indiana.

Does Indiana require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Indiana LLC instead?

Yes, but Missouri keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Indiana's Business Entity Report ($32), and Missouri has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Indiana later?

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