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

Will your Louisiana name work for New York?

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

Your New York agent and the Louisiana one

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

Yearly filings: New York and Louisiana

Louisiana wants the Annual Report every year ($30); New York wants the Biennial Statement every two years ($9). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Louisiana to New York

An LLC formed in Louisiana files Form DOS-1361-f-a with New York ($250 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($25)). After that come Louisiana's Annual Report ($40) and New York's Biennial Statement ($9). See the LLC filing.

Registering a New York company in Louisiana
