How Virginia companies register with Indiana

Order the Virginia certificate
The Certificate of Fact of Existence/Registration ($6) is ordered from Virginia separately; it is not part of our Indiana order. Ordered from Virginia on filing day, it easily meets Indiana's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file State Form 56369
It names us as your Indiana registered agent, with your Virginia name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Virginia delays the Indiana filing. Once Indiana approves it, the Virginia company can do business there.
