What you receive for Utah

Use this packet to gather the information Utah asks for, then complete the current online filing on the official site.

Official filing is online

Utah no longer publishes a paper certificate of organization for new formations. File on the official state portal linked below.

Preparation and support

The download helps you assemble names, addresses, registered-agent facts, and management choices before you file.

You still need an operating agreement

The state filing creates the LLC. Banks, members, and later disputes usually require a separate operating agreement.

Included packet documents

This state packet includes 1 document in print-ready PDF format. Labels describe each file's role, not the internal filename.

  • Federal EIN application worksheet Federal tax-ID worksheet. Not an IRS-issued EIN and not filed with these articles. PDF

Articles vs operating agreement

What this certificate of organization is — and is not

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.

Who this packet is for

  • Use this packet to form a new domestic Utah LLC.
  • This is not a foreign-qualification / foreign-LLC registration.
  • This is not a professional-license (PLLC) eligibility review.
  • This is not registered-agent service and not an EIN application.
  • The $9.99 price does not pay the state’s filing fee or file the document for you.

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 Certificate of Organization 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.

Utah filing fee is $59, paid separately to the Division of Corporations through the online portal. It is not included in this $9.99 packet. Sources: Utah Division of Corporations LLC page ; Utah Business Registration portal ; Utah Code Title 48, Chapter 3a

Formation path

What happens before, during, and after the state filing. This product is the public formation document, not a filing service.

Before you file

Choose a distinguishable Utah name and a registered agent who can accept service in Utah.

The state filing

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.

After acceptance

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.

Utah formation guide and statutory notes

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.
