You must register with the state if you own a foreign corporation and want to conduct business in Utah. Before you can conduct business in the state, your corporation must be reinstated if it has been dormant or suspended. This page will answer some related questions and offer a step-by-step instruction on how to restart a foreign firm in Utah.
Step 1: Verify the Status of Your Corporation You must be aware of your corporation’s current situation before you may restart it. On the website of the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code (DCCC), you can check this by conducting a search for your corporation. You must submit documentation to have your corporation reactivated if it is dormant or suspended.
You must submit an Application for Reinstatement to the Utah DCCC in order to reinstate your corporation. This can be submitted online or by mail. The name of your corporation, the state or nation in which it was formed, the time it first registered in Utah, as well as the cause of its suspension or inactivity, must all be included in the application.
You must pay any fees and penalties owed when you submit your Application for Reinstatement. This includes any unpaid annual reports, franchise taxes, or other obligations that were not paid on time. These fees can be paid online or by mail.
You must wait for Utah DCCC approval after submitting your application and paying all costs and penalties. Applications for reinstatement can take a while to process, but often a few weeks. You can resume conducting business in Utah once your corporation has been revived.
You can submit a DBA (Doing Business As) form to the Utah DCCC if you want to conduct business under a name that differs from the official name of your LLC. You must complete an Application for Registration of Trade Name and pay a fee in order to submit a DBA. This can be submitted online or by mail.
In Utah, you are permitted to use a PO Box as your LLC’s mailing address. However, you must give the registered agent of your LLC an actual street address. This is the person or business chosen to accept legal paperwork on your LLC’s behalf.
You must submit a Statement of Change of Registered Agent/Office to the Utah DCCC in order to change your LLC’s registered agent there. You can submit this form electronically or by mail. Along with paying a fee, you must submit the new registered agent’s name and address.
A person or business chosen to receive legal documents on behalf of your LLC is known as a registered agent in Utah. This covers matters like court cases, subpoenas, and other official writing. In order to receive these documents, your registered agent must be physically located in Utah, have a Utah street address, and be accessible during regular business hours.
