How New Mexico companies register with Idaho

It names us as your Idaho registered agent, with your New Mexico name and formation date. If Idaho wants the New Mexico certificate, it is ordered first. Once Idaho approves it, the New Mexico company can do business there.

Will your New Mexico name work for Idaho?

If another Idaho company uses the New Mexico name, an alternate name is allowed. We check your exact New Mexico name against Idaho's records before filing.

Common questions: New Mexico to Idaho

Does my New Mexico company need to register in Idaho?

Is this a certificate of authority?

Idaho calls it registration for New Mexico corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does the Idaho registration cost?

$302.50 at checkout; Idaho may also want New Mexico's Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance, at extra cost.

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, plus time for New Mexico's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for New Mexico and Idaho?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), New Mexico's report ($25, every two years) and Idaho's report (no fee).

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

Yes: the New Mexico registered agent stays, and ours covers Idaho for year one, with a street address there.

Will Idaho accept my New Mexico name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its New Mexico name at home.

Can I form a new Idaho corporation instead?

Yes, but New Mexico keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

New Mexico companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement; until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside New Mexico's filings.
