The filing needs certificate of existence dated at most 90 days.

The deadline, per the state: last day of your anniversary month.

The final row is a sum, not a state figure: filing fee, then years two and three of reports, then minimum tax where it applies.
Short Q&A
Do both states require an agent?
You still need one at home. Mainstay Filing works in both states, while a local company works in one.
What is the three-year bill for each?
$397 for Utah Registered Agent.co, $497 for Mainstay Filing, $397 for UT Registered Agent.org, and state fees are separate.
How do you know these fees?
Fees set by the state come from Utah's own publications; what services charge comes from their published prices.
Can I skip hiring one?
Not at all. Owners can file with the state directly; a service is there to save you the work and to act as agent.
Is filing part of the service?
Yes, filing is part of what each of these companies sells, and the state fee is a constant.
Who is your first choice in Utah?
Utah Registered Agent.co first: registering costs $199 over the state fee, agent covered in year one, then $99 a year. Mainstay Filing and UT Registered Agent.org follow.
