It lists us as your New Mexico registered agent, next to your Idaho name and formation date. If New Mexico wants the Idaho certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Idaho corporation is registered with New Mexico.

Will your Idaho name work for New Mexico?

We search New Mexico's records for Idaho's name on file before anything is filed.
