When you need to register
If your LLC was formed in another state but "transacts business" in Connecticut — an office, employees, or regular in-state operations — Connecticut generally requires you to register before you do business here. You file Foreign Registration Statement with the Connecticut Secretary of the State, Business Services Division; see the official fee.
Your home state keeps charging its own fees too, so the true cost is both states added together.
