Jurisdiction record
Everything this record holds on Utah: 71 fee cells, 15 verified registered-agent statute citations, 75 good-standing status strings, 7 governance rules, a state-level DBA regime, 16 official statute files in the verification corpus, and 4 monitored sources.
Filing agency: Utah Department of Commerce. Official sites: agency home (opens the official source) · forms and fees (opens the official source) · fee schedule (opens the official source) · entity search (opens the official source) · annual report filing (opens the official source) · statutes (opens the official source)
Statutory fee is the amount fixed by statute or the agency schedule. Effective remittance is what actually leaves the bank once any e-payment surcharge or bundled component is included. Partnership entity types are covered too: LP is a limited partnership, LLP a limited liability partnership, LLLP a limited liability limited partnership. A row reading not offered or no report required is a verified positive finding cited to the statute that proves it - not a gap.

Utah's Model Registered Agents Act (ch. 16-17) governs all entity types. The agent may be a listed commercial registered agent or a noncommercial registered agent - defined as an individual or a domestic or foreign entity that serves in this state (or the holder of a designated office/position with the entity). Every registered-agent filing must state an actual street address in Utah (Utah Code 16-17-202). No express residency or authorized-to-transact-business restriction appears in the chapter beyond the in-state street address requirement. Corporations and LLCs designate per this chapter (Utah Code 16-10a; 48-3a-111).
Consent required: yes.
If an entity no longer has a registered agent, or the agent cannot with reasonable diligence be served, service may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to the entity's governors at its principal office; failing that, by handing a copy to the manager, clerk, or other person in charge of any regular place of business. Utah's MRAA has no service-on-the-Secretary-of-State fallback.

13 statutory citations and their supporting verbatim quotations sit behind this section in the record and are withheld from public display until the review pass lands, because a citation presented as authority is a verification claimed. Statutory references appearing inside the summaries above are part of the recorded text rather than an authority claim, and they are not rendered as citations, linked, or emitted in this page's structured data.

Utah is a statewide-filing state. Utah Code § 42-2-5(2) requires the certificate of assumed and of true name to be filed with the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code, not with a county office, and § 42-2-5(3)(b) requires filing no later than 30 days after commencing business.
Yes. Unusually among the states, Utah Code § 42-2-5(2)(b) requires a person filing an assumed-name certificate to "designate ... and maintain a registered agent in this state," and the recodified act keeps that requirement (§ 42-2-201(2)(b), effective Oct. 1, 2026).
Three years from the date of filing under Utah Code § 42-2-8. If no new filing is made within 30 days after the division mails an expiration notice, the name is removed from the active index. Under the recodified act, renewal opens 60 days before expiration, and an unrenewed registration becomes permanently expired with the name immediately claimable by another person (§ 42-2-204).
Yes. Chapter 93 of the 2026 General Session repeals and renumbers Title 42, Chapter 2 effective October 1, 2026, retitling it "Conducting Business As A D.B.A." (Utah Code §§ 42-2-101 to 42-2-205). The core requirements - Division filing within 30 days, registered agent, three-year term, and the bar on suing while unregistered - carry forward.
The tax does not reach LLCs - a positive finding in the record.
