Who needs a certificate of organization (LLC) and the annual report in Idaho?

Issued by Idaho Secretary of State, at step 1 of 6 in the opening sequence: set up the business.

Every kind of business in Idaho

The Idaho table lists this for every kind of business.

File through the SOSBiz portal. The certificate names a registered agent with an Idaho street address and a mailing address for the annual report notices. There is no late fee, but a missed report leads to administrative dissolution and a $30 reinstatement. Ignore mailers that charge to file the report for you.
