Registering in Utah, step by step
Step1
Step 1: Decide whether Utah registration is needed
Formed somewhere else but doing business in Utah? Then the LLC registers there as a foreign LLC. Operating without it: It cannot start a lawsuit in Utah courts until it registers (Utah Code 16-1a-503(2)). Its agreements are not voided (Utah Code 16-1a-503(3)).
Utah asks for certificate of existence, dated within 90 days.
TipOrder it last so it is still recent when you file.

Step 3: Name your Utah registered agent
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address. The address has to be an actual street address or rural route box number in Utah. A P.O. box can follow the street address but cannot replace it.
Next comes the annual report at $18, last day of your anniversary month.
