From Pennsylvania to Indiana, step by step

Order the Pennsylvania certificate
The Subsistence Certificate ($40) is ordered from Pennsylvania separately; it is not part of our Indiana order. Indiana accepts it within 60 days of Pennsylvania's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file State Form 56369
It names us as your Indiana registered agent, with your Pennsylvania name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Pennsylvania's certificate is in hand, Indiana's filing goes in. After approval, your Pennsylvania LLC is registered with Indiana.

Does Indiana require a registered agent?

Yes: the Pennsylvania registered office stays, and ours covers Indiana for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Indiana LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Indiana later?

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