The Idaho foreign LLC registration fee and rules, in the state's own words

The Idaho Secretary of State, Business Services collects $100 and the Foreign Registration Statement from out-of-state LLCs active in Idaho. The filing requires certificate of existence (certificate of good standing) from the home state from within the last 90 days.

Ignoring the requirement can lead to a bar on suing as plaintiff in Idaho courts until it registers (Idaho Code 30-21-502(b)).

The no-service total

Do it alone and Idaho still collects $100 over three years, plus you complete every form. A service charges $397 to $497 to take that off you.
