From New Jersey to Indiana, step by step

Order the New Jersey certificate
The Standing Certificate ($50) is ordered from New Jersey separately; it is not part of our Indiana order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). Indiana counts 60 days from the day New Jersey issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file State Form 56369
It lists us as your Indiana registered agent, next to your New Jersey name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The New Jersey certificate comes first; then the Indiana filing goes in. After approval, your New Jersey LLC is registered with Indiana.

Your Indiana agent and the New Jersey one

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

Yearly filings: Indiana and New Jersey

New Jersey wants the Annual Report every year ($75); Indiana wants the Business Entity Report every two years ($32). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

The other way: Indiana into New Jersey

An LLC formed in Indiana that registers with New Jersey files New Jersey's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($15). See that filing.

Does Indiana require a registered agent?

Yes: the New Jersey 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 New Jersey keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Indiana's Business Entity Report ($32), and the original keeps New Jersey's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Indiana later?

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