From Florida 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 Florida name and formation date. If New York wants the Florida certificate, it is ordered first. Once New York approves it, the Florida company can do business there.

Your Florida name and New York's rules

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

Your New York agent and the Florida one

Florida and New York both call it a registered agent. New York papers come to us; Florida's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: New York and Florida

Florida wants the Annual Report every year ($150); New York wants the Biennial Statement every two years ($9). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Florida to New York

An LLC formed in Florida files Form DOS-1361-f-a with New York ($250 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Status ($5)). After that come Florida's Annual Report ($138.75) and New York's Biennial Statement ($9). See the LLC filing.

Registering a New York company in Florida
