Utah online filing state
Utah now forms an LLC online with the state. This $9.99 packet is a preparation worksheet and supporting file set — not a substitute for the current online filing — plus support and lifetime updates if the packet changes.
Use this packet to gather the information Utah asks for, then complete the current online filing on the official site.
Utah no longer publishes a paper certificate of organization for new formations. File on the official state portal linked below.
The download helps you assemble names, addresses, registered-agent facts, and management choices before you file.
The state filing creates the LLC. Banks, members, and later disputes usually require a separate operating agreement.
This state packet includes 1 document in print-ready PDF format. Labels describe each file's role, not the internal filename.
Articles vs operating agreement
Utah currently accepts new LLC formations online. This page is not selling a current paper substitute for that official portal.
The download is a preparation packet: supporting files and a worksheet so you can gather the facts the state asks for, then file on the official site.
An operating agreement is a different document. It usually is not filed with the state, but banks and members often require one.
Need the internal rulebook too? After you file, most customers also download a member-managed or manager-managed operating agreement for Utah.
Researched filing overview
Utah organizes a domestic LLC under Utah Code § 48-3a-201 by filing a Certificate of Organization through the Utah Business Registration portal. The $59 state filing fee is paid separately to the Division of Corporations. The Division no longer publishes a current downloadable paper formation form.
This packet pairs a filing roadmap with the federal EIN worksheet, so you can prepare the answers the portal asks: the LLC name, principal office address, registered agent, and management structure.
After formation, file an annual report/renewal through the portal during the LLC's formation-anniversary month. The annual renewal fee is $18.
What happens before, during, and after the state filing. This product is the public formation document, not a filing service.
Choose a distinguishable Utah name and a registered agent who can accept service in Utah.
File the certificate of organization with Utah. Pay the state’s fee on the official site or by mail. This product does not file for you.
Most customers then adopt an operating agreement and apply for an EIN if they need a federal tax ID. Banks often ask for both the stamped formation document and the agreement.
This section is the packet’s formation guide for Utah, including any checklist and statute text stored with the product. It is meant to be read on the page, not trapped in a preview window.

No. The certificate of organization is the public filing that creates the LLC. An operating agreement is a separate internal contract that sets ownership, voting, profit splits, and management. Most customers need both.
No current paper certificate of organization is published for new Utah formations. Utah accepts this filing online. This packet is a preparation and support set, not the online portal itself.
When the state publishes a free official form, that blank is still free on the government site. This product packages the current form we carry, any companion files listed on this page, email support, and lifetime updates if we replace the packet. It is not a filing service and it does not pay the state’s filing fee.
This packet currently includes 1 document in print-ready PDF format. The list on this page is the customer-facing inventory.
Utah generally does not file the operating agreement with this certificate, but banks, lenders, and multi-member LLCs almost always want one. Choose member-managed if every owner will run the company, or manager-managed if appointed managers will run it.
