From Michigan to New York, step by step

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

Will your Michigan name work for New York?

We search New York's records for Michigan's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: New York and Michigan

New York calls it a registered agent; Michigan says resident agent. New York papers come to us; Michigan's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: New York and Michigan

Michigan wants the Annual Report, Form CSCL/CD-2500 every year ($25); New York wants the Biennial Statement every two years ($9). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Michigan to New York

An LLC formed in Michigan files Form DOS-1361-f-a with New York ($250 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($10)). After that come Michigan's Annual Statement ($25) and New York's Biennial Statement ($9). See the LLC filing.
