From Vermont to Indiana, step by step

Order the Vermont certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($35) is ordered from Vermont separately; it is not part of our Indiana order. An instant Vermont certificate reaches Indiana only hours old, well inside the limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file State Form 56369
It names us as your Indiana registered agent, with your Vermont name and formation date and the certificate attached. Vermont issues the certificate instantly, so the Indiana filing can go in the same day. Once Indiana approves it, the Vermont company can do business there.

Does Indiana require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Indiana LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Indiana later?

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