From New Jersey to Idaho, step by step

Order the New Jersey certificate
The Standing Certificate ($50) is ordered from New Jersey separately; it is not part of our Idaho order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). Idaho accepts it within 90 days of New Jersey's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Idaho registered agent, next to your New Jersey name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once New Jersey's certificate is in hand, Idaho's filing goes in. After approval, your New Jersey LLC is registered with Idaho.

Your New Jersey name and Idaho's rules

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

Your Idaho agent and the New Jersey one

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

Yearly filings: Idaho and New Jersey

Each year your LLC files New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, New Jersey plus Idaho comes to $224 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, New Jersey to Idaho

A corporation formed in New Jersey files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same). After that come New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Idaho into New Jersey

An LLC formed in Idaho that registers with New Jersey files New Jersey's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10). See that filing.

Questions New Jersey owners ask about Idaho

Does my New Jersey company need to register in Idaho?

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

How much does the Idaho registration cost?

$302.50 at checkout plus $50 to New Jersey for the Standing Certificate, $352.50 in all (checkout is $103.50 in state fees plus our $199).

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

Yes: Idaho wants New Jersey's Standing Certificate ($50), 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 Jersey's certificate is in hand. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for New Jersey and Idaho?

$224 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $75 to New Jersey and nothing to Idaho for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Idaho?

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

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

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

Will Idaho accept my New Jersey name?

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

Can I form a new Idaho LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

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