Minnesota LLC – Certificate of Authority

Foreign Minnesota Limited Liability Company

If you have an LLC based outside of Minnesota and you want to operate in Minnesota, you will need to register your limited liability company as a foreign Minnesota LLC. Once your paperwork is filed, the State returns a filed certificate of authority from the Corporations Division of the Minnesota Secretary of State.

As your registered agent, we can register your foreign Minnesota LLC for the state filing fee plus $100.

OR, you can do it yourself, and hire Minnesota Registered Agent Services LLC as your Minnesota registered agent. All Foreign LLCs in Minnesota will require a registered agent. We offer this service from us for $49 a year.

Once you sign up for Minnesota registered agent service, you will be logged into your online account where you’ll find the foreign Minnesota LLC form you submit to the Corporations Division of the Minnesota Secretary of State.

After taking a look at the forms and resources we include in your client account, if you do not want to actually do the filing yourself, you can find and click on the add services tab in your account, and have us do the filing for you for the state filing fees plus $100. As part of that service, we also will locate the correct documentation from the home state of your LLC organization that are needed to properly register you with the State of Minnesota.
