How New Jersey companies register with Utah

Order the New Jersey certificate
The Standing Certificate ($50) is ordered from New Jersey separately; it is not part of our Utah order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). Utah counts 90 days from the day New Jersey 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 New Jersey name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once New Jersey's certificate is in hand, Utah's filing goes in. Once Utah approves it, the New Jersey company can do business there.

Common questions: New Jersey to Utah

Does my New Jersey company need to register in Utah?

Yes, once a New Jersey 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 $50 to New Jersey for the Standing Certificate, $308 in all (checkout is $59 in state fees plus our $199).

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

Yes: Utah wants New Jersey's Standing Certificate ($50), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for New Jersey and Utah?

$242 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $75 to New Jersey and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah 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 Utah LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

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