If you really need your original approved Articles of Incorporation in your hands quickly, the Express Mail option can cut the delivery time in half. The Express Mail option has no effect on the Idaho Secretary of State's processing time. 

Every Idaho Nonprofit is required to have an address within the state of Idaho where official and legal correspondence can be delivered.  The individual or company that is registered with the state of Idaho to receive all correspondence on behalf of the Nonprofit is called a Registered Agent.

You may act as your own Registered Agent, however, many Nonprofits hire a Registered Agent because they don't have a physical address within Idaho or to provide a distinct level of privacy. 

We can act as your Idaho Nonprofit Registered Agent.  This is an annual service.  We will forward all correspondence to you and will remind you when it is time to renew your ID Registered Agent services.

Bylaws are the rules by which your Idaho Nonprofit must operate.  Every new Idaho Nonprofit requires bylaws.  Almost anything may be written into the bylaws, however, the bylaws must not be in violation of any law or your Idaho Nonprofit's Articles of Incorporation.

We can create customized initial bylaws for your Idaho Nonprofit that are based on your specific business requirements. As your company grows over time, you may amend your bylaws as necessary.

An Idaho Good Standing Certficate is proof of the existence of your new Idaho Nonprofit. The Certificate is issued by the Idaho Secretary of State and is proof that your ID Nonprofit is not behind on any of its Idaho Secretary of State Corporate obligations.

An Idaho Good Standing Certificate is often required for loans, to apply for business licenses, or for tax or other business purposes in the state of Idaho or in any other state.

We can get your Idaho Good Standing Certificate immediately after the Idaho Secretary of State has approved your Nonprofit filing.

An FEIN is like a Social Security Number for your Idaho Nonprofit.  We can get your FEIN on the same day that your Articles of Incorporation are approved by the Idaho Secretary of State.

You can get your FEIN before your articles are approved by the Idaho Secretary of State but it's a good idea to wait until after approval.  Your filing may be rejected or the Nonprofit name that you want may not be approved.  Changing information on an FEIN filing is not a trivial exercise with the IRS.

While you're not required to have a Nonprofit Kit and Seal for your new Idaho Nonprofit they do come in handy.  The ID Nonprofit Kit consists of a beautiful customized binder, stock certificates, a stock ledger and your custom Nonprofit Seal.

The Nonprofit Seal is used to emboss important company documents, such as stock certificates.  The binder also includes dividers so you can use it for all of your Idaho Nonprofit record keeping.
