Indiana Certificate of Authority / About
About Indiana Certificate of Authority
Indiana Certificate of Authority helps companies formed outside Indiana get the registration that lets them do business there. We prepare the Foreign Registration Statement and submit it through INBiz.
Why the name says certificate of authority
It is the phrase people type into a search box. Indiana's own paper is a registration statement, and we say so on every page so nobody orders the wrong thing.
Where we stop
Whether your activity is doing business, how to treat earlier months, and what Indiana tax you owe are for an Indiana lawyer or tax adviser.

- The home-state certificate requested so its date lands inside Indiana's window
- An Indiana registered agent: our office, or the agent you already have
- The filing submitted and the state's record sent to you, with your first report month
- Renewal: after the first year, the agent service renews at $149 a year
Checkout shows our fee and the Indiana fee as two lines. Indiana charges less online than on paper. $199 plus the state fee, including your first year of registered agent service; after that the agent service renews at $149 a year.
