From Utah to Vermont, step by step

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

Each year your LLC files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18) and Vermont's Annual Report ($170). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Utah plus Vermont comes to $337 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

Common questions: Utah to Vermont

Does my Utah company need to register in Vermont?

Yes, once a Utah business operates there; Vermont law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Vermont registration cost?

$354 at checkout plus $12 to Utah for the Certificate of Existence, $366 in all (checkout is $155 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Utah's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Vermont wants Utah's Certificate of Existence ($12), no more than 90 days old at filing.

How long does the Vermont registration take?

Vermont's online processing takes less than one business day; Utah's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing.

What are the yearly costs for Utah and Vermont?

$337 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $18 to Utah and $170 to Vermont for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Vermont?

A Utah company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Vermont can add a penalty of $50 a day, up to $10,000 a year.

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

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

Will Vermont accept my Utah name?

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

Can I form a new Vermont LLC instead?

Yes, but Utah keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($45), and the original keeps Utah's Annual Report/Renewal.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

Utah companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation; until then, Vermont's report stays due alongside Utah's filings.
