How New Hampshire companies register with Utah

Order the New Hampshire certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($5) is ordered from New Hampshire separately; it is not part of our Utah order. It comes as a short form ($5) or a long form ($10). Utah 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 lists us as your Utah registered agent, next to your New Hampshire name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The New Hampshire certificate comes first; then the Utah filing goes in. After approval, your New Hampshire LLC is registered with Utah.

Your New Hampshire name and Utah's rules

If another Utah company uses the New Hampshire name, an alternate name is allowed. We check your exact New Hampshire name against Utah's records before filing.

Your Utah agent and the New Hampshire one

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

Yearly filings: Utah and New Hampshire

Each year your LLC files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($102) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, New Hampshire plus Utah comes to $269 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, New Hampshire to Utah

A corporation formed in New Hampshire files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same). After that come New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Utah into New Hampshire

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

Questions New Hampshire owners ask about Utah

Does my New Hampshire company need to register in Utah?

Yes, once a New Hampshire 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 $5 to New Hampshire for the Certificate of Good Standing, $263 in all (checkout is $59 in state fees plus our $199).

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

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

What are the yearly costs for New Hampshire and Utah?

$269 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $102 to New Hampshire and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah 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 Utah LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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