|---|---|
| Fee | $59 |

| Home paper | A certificate of existence, or a document of similar import, authorized by the lieutenant governor or other official who has custody of corporate records in the jurisdiction of formation |
| Age limit | 90 days |
| Route | The Division's online business registration system, which needs a free UtahID account |
| Public record | Yes, all of it |
What the statute requires
Section 504 requires a signed statement giving its name (and an alternate name if its own cannot be used), its type of entity, its jurisdiction of formation, the street and mailing address of its principal office, the address of any office its home law requires it to keep, and its registered agent.
The seven numbered items
The numbered boxes ask for the exact name, the jurisdiction of formation, the principal office street address, the registered agent and a Utah street address for it, the name to use in Utah if the exact name is unavailable, an optional purpose, optional managers and members, and the signature.
Exact name and alternate name
Item one carries the name in the form the home records use. Item five is for the case where that name cannot be used in Utah, and then the company writes the name it will use here. Otherwise item five repeats item one.
Principal office
The principal office needs a street address. The statement also gives the address of any office the home law requires the company to keep there.
The registered agent
Items three and four name the agent and give a Utah street address for a non-commercial one; a PO box can be listed only after the street address. Naming the agent affirms that the agent agrees to serve.
Optional items
The purpose of the company and the managers and members are optional. Leaving them out does not affect filing.
Signature
The statement is signed by an authorized individual who states his or her name and title. The signer declares under penalties of perjury that the statement has been examined and is true, correct and complete.
The certificate
Enclose a certificate of existence, or a document of similar import, authorized by the lieutenant governor or other official who has custody of corporate records in the jurisdiction of formation. It must be dated within 90 days before the statement is delivered.
Routes and effect
Utah takes the filing through the Division's online business registration system, which needs a free UtahID account, and paper is accepted by mail, in person, or online through the Submit a Paper Filing option. The registration takes effect when the Division files it, or at a later date and time stated in the filing that is no more than 90 days after filing.
Mistakes and corrections
If a filed statement is wrong or defectively signed, a statement of correction fixes an inaccurate or defectively signed filing and relates back to the date of the filing it corrects. If the Division refuses to file, it returns the filing or notifies the filer of its refusal, with a brief explanation, within 15 business days.
Changes to the registration
A change in the entity's name, its home jurisdiction, an address or its agent calls for an amendment. A name or jurisdiction change in the registration is filed with a fresh certificate of existence dated within 90 days.
Series LLCs
A foreign series LLC uses a separate form, the Foreign Registration Statement (Foreign Series Limited Liability Company), also at $59.
Common errors on the form
Check the name against the home record down to its commas and abbreviations, the agent's address for a street rather than a PO box, the signature and title, and the date on the certificate.
What the filed record shows
After filing, the Division lists the entity as registered, with the name used in Utah, the jurisdiction of formation, the agent and the anniversary month. Anyone can search that record.
