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