How New Hampshire companies register with Idaho

Order the New Hampshire certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($5) is ordered from New Hampshire separately; it is not part of our Idaho order. It comes as a short form ($5) or a long form ($10). Idaho accepts it within 90 days of New Hampshire's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Idaho registered agent, with your New Hampshire name and formation date and the certificate attached. The New Hampshire certificate comes first; then the Idaho filing goes in. After approval, your New Hampshire LLC is registered with Idaho.

Your New Hampshire name and Idaho's rules

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

Agents: Idaho and New Hampshire

New Hampshire and Idaho both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for New Hampshire; ours takes Idaho's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Idaho and New Hampshire

Each year your LLC files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($102) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, New Hampshire plus Idaho comes to $251 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, New Hampshire to Idaho

A corporation formed in New Hampshire files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same). After that come New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Idaho into New Hampshire

An LLC formed in Idaho that registers with New Hampshire files Form FLLC-1 with $102 in state fees; no Idaho certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions New Hampshire owners ask about Idaho

Does my New Hampshire company need to register in Idaho?

Yes, once a New Hampshire business operates there; Idaho law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does it cost to register a New Hampshire LLC in Idaho?

$302.50 at checkout plus $5 to New Hampshire for the Certificate of Good Standing, $307.50 in all (checkout is $103.50 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need New Hampshire's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Idaho wants it ($5), no more than 90 days old at filing.

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, once New Hampshire's certificate is in hand. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for New Hampshire and Idaho?

$251 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $102 to New Hampshire and nothing to Idaho for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Idaho?

A New Hampshire company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

Yes: the New Hampshire registered agent stays, and ours covers Idaho for year one, with a street address there.

Will Idaho accept my New Hampshire name?

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

Can I form a new Idaho LLC instead?

Yes, but New Hampshire keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps New Hampshire's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

New Hampshire companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement ($20); until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside New Hampshire's filings.
