Missouri LLC Foreign Registration in Utah

An LLC formed in Missouri that wants to do business in Utah files an online registration (no form number), with $59 in state fees.

How Missouri companies register with Utah

Order the Missouri certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Missouri separately; it is not part of our Utah order. Utah counts 90 days from the day Missouri issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Utah registered agent, with your Missouri name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Missouri certificate comes first; then the Utah filing goes in. After approval, your Missouri LLC is registered with Utah.

Your Missouri name and Utah's rules

If Utah's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Missouri company. We search Utah's records for Missouri's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Utah and Missouri

Missouri and Utah both call it a registered agent. Utah papers come to us; Missouri's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Utah and Missouri

Missouri has no annual report for LLCs; Utah wants the Annual Report/Renewal every year ($18). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Missouri to Utah

A corporation formed in Missouri files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same). After that come Missouri's Corporate Registration Report ($15) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Utah into Missouri

An LLC formed in Utah that registers with Missouri files Form LLC 4 with $105 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($12) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Missouri owners ask about Utah

Does my Missouri company need to register in Utah?

Yes, once a Missouri business operates there; Utah law lists 14 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout plus $10 to Missouri for the Certificate of Good Standing, $268 in all (checkout is $59 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Missouri's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Utah wants it ($10), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Missouri and Utah?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Missouri yearly report and Utah's report ($18).

Does Utah require a registered agent?

Yes: the Missouri registered agent stays, and ours covers Utah for year one.

Will Utah accept my Missouri name?

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

Can I form a new Utah LLC instead?

Yes, but Missouri keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18), and Missouri has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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