What the Utah filing asks for

For the filing, Utah needs:

• The exact name of your LLC as formed, or an alternate name if that name is taken there
• The state it was formed in and its date of formation
• A Utah registered agent with a street address there; we fill in ours
• A principal office address
• A certificate of good standing from the home state, no older than 90 days when Utah receives it

LLC into Utah, by home state

The first-year total adds the home state's certificate fee to the $258 checkout total; the certificate is ordered from that state.

When Utah expects an LLC to register

Utah law lists 14 activities that do not, on their own, count as doing business in Utah. An office, staff, or regular sales and contracts there are what typically lead to registration.

Utah registered agent rule

Utah requires every registered foreign LLC to keep a registered agent there. The agent must agree to serve before Utah accepts the appointment. Switching agents later costs $17. Our $199 includes the first year of Utah registered agent service, then $149 a year.

Utah yearly filings

Once registered, your LLC files the Utah Annual Report/Renewal every year, at $18, due last day of the entity's anniversary month each year. The Utah filing window opens Approximately 60 days before the anniversary month-end and closes last day of the anniversary month. Filing it late adds $10. From year two, keeping the Utah registration costs $167 a year with our registered agent service.

How long Utah takes

We file it online with the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code.

Leaving Utah later

If your LLC stops doing business there, it ends the registration by filing a Withdrawal of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company. Until that is filed, Utah's yearly filing stays due.
