How Vermont companies register with Utah

Order the Vermont certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($35) is ordered from Vermont separately; it is not part of our Utah order. Ordered from Vermont on filing day, it easily meets Utah's limit of 90 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Utah registered agent, with your Vermont name and formation date and the certificate attached. Vermont issues the certificate instantly, so the Utah filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Vermont LLC is registered with Utah.

Questions Vermont owners ask about Utah

Does my Vermont company need to register in Utah?

Yes, once a Vermont business operates there; Utah law lists 14 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout plus $35 to Vermont for the Certificate of Good Standing, $293 in all (checkout is $59 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Vermont's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Utah wants it ($35), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Vermont and Utah?

$212 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $45 to Vermont and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my Vermont name?

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

Can I form a new Utah LLC instead?

Yes, but Vermont keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18), and the original keeps Vermont's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

Vermont companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside Vermont's filings.
