From Delaware to New York, step by step

We prepare and file Form DOS-1335-f-a
It names us as your New York registered agent, with your Delaware name and formation date. If New York wants the Delaware certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Delaware corporation is registered with New York.

Will your Delaware name work for New York?

We check your exact Delaware name against New York's records before filing.

Agents: New York and Delaware

Delaware and New York both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Delaware; ours takes New York's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Delaware and New York

Delaware wants the Annual Franchise Tax Report every year ($50); New York wants the Biennial Statement every two years ($9). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Delaware to New York

An LLC formed in Delaware files Form DOS-1361-f-a with New York ($250 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($50)). After that come Delaware's Annual LLC Tax ($400) and New York's Biennial Statement ($9). See the LLC filing.

The other way: New York into Delaware

A corporation formed in New York that registers with Delaware files Delaware's registration (no form number) with $245 in state fees. See that filing.
