How Hawaii companies register with New Hampshire

We prepare and file Form 40
It lists us as your New Hampshire registered agent, next to your Hawaii name and formation date. If New Hampshire wants the Hawaii certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Hawaii corporation is registered with New Hampshire.

Will your Hawaii name work for New Hampshire?

We check your exact Hawaii name against New Hampshire's records before filing.

Agents: New Hampshire and Hawaii

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

Yearly filings: New Hampshire and Hawaii

Each year your corporation files Hawaii's Annual Report ($15) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Hawaii plus New Hampshire comes to $264 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Hawaii to New Hampshire

An LLC formed in Hawaii files Form FLLC-1 with New Hampshire ($102 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Hawaii's Domestic Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form C5) ($12.50) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). See the LLC filing.
