Utah LLC Foreign Registration in Minnesota

To do business in Minnesota, an LLC formed in Utah registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $205 in state fees. Minnesota asks nothing of Utah here, not even the Certificate of Existence. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services from your Utah records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Utah companies register with Minnesota

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Minnesota registered agent, with your Utah name and formation date. No Utah paperwork holds up the Minnesota filing. After approval, your Utah LLC is registered with Minnesota.

Your Utah name and Minnesota's rules

We check your exact Utah name against Minnesota's records before filing.

Your Minnesota agent and the Utah one

Utah and Minnesota both call it a registered agent. Minnesota papers come to us; Utah's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Utah and Minnesota

Each year your LLC files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18) and Minnesota's Annual Renewal (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Utah plus Minnesota comes to $167 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Utah to Minnesota

A corporation formed in Utah files its own registration with Minnesota ($220 in state fees). After that come Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18) and Minnesota's Annual Renewal ($115). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Minnesota into Utah

An LLC formed in Minnesota that registers with Utah files Utah's registration (no form number) with $59 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($5) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Utah to Minnesota

Does my Utah company need to register in Minnesota?

Yes, once a Utah business operates there; Minnesota law lists 8 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Minnesota registration cost?

$404 at checkout, with nothing to pay Utah.

Do I need Utah's certificate of good standing?

No, Minnesota takes the registration without it.

How long does the Minnesota registration take?

Minnesota's online processing takes 2 to 5 business days; nothing comes from Utah first.

What are the yearly costs for Utah and Minnesota?

$167 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $18 to Utah and nothing to Minnesota for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Minnesota?

A Utah company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Minnesota require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Minnesota LLC instead?

Yes, but Utah keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Minnesota's Annual Renewal (no fee), and the original keeps Utah's Annual Report/Renewal.

How do I withdraw from Minnesota later?

Utah companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of a Foreign Limited Liability Company ($35); until then, Minnesota's report stays due alongside Utah's filings.
