From New York to Idaho, step by step

Order the New York certificate
The Certificate of Status ($25) is ordered from New York separately; it is not part of our Idaho order. Mail time from New York counts against Idaho's limit of 90 days, so the order allows for transit.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Idaho registered agent, next to your New York name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The New York certificate takes days to arrive, so the Idaho filing waits for it. After approval, your New York LLC is registered with Idaho.

Questions New York owners ask about Idaho

Does my New York company need to register in Idaho?

How much does the Idaho registration cost?

$302.50 at checkout plus $25 to New York for the Certificate of Status, $327.50 in all (checkout is $103.50 in state fees plus our $199).

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

Yes: Idaho wants New York's Certificate of Status ($25), 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, plus mail time for New York's certificate before filing. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for New York and Idaho?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), New York's report ($9, every two years) and Idaho's report (no fee).

What if I don't register with Idaho?

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

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

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

Will Idaho accept my New York name?

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

Can I form a new Idaho LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

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