Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

Yes: the New Mexico registered agent stays, and ours covers New Hampshire for year one.

Can I form a new New Hampshire corporation instead?

Yes, but New Mexico keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100), and the original keeps New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report.

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

New Mexico companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal of a For-Profit Foreign Corporation; until then, New Hampshire's report stays due alongside New Mexico's filings.
