How Utah companies register with Connecticut

Order the Utah certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($12) is ordered from Utah separately; it is not part of our Connecticut order. It comes as a short form ($12) or a long form ($20). Ordered from Utah on filing day, it easily meets Connecticut's limit of 90 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Connecticut registered agent, with your Utah name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Utah delays the Connecticut filing. After approval, your Utah LLC is registered with Connecticut.
