From New Mexico to New Jersey, step by step

Order the New Mexico certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance ($50) is ordered from New Mexico separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. New Jersey wants the New Mexico certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your New Jersey registered agent, next to your New Mexico name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once New Mexico's certificate is in hand, New Jersey's filing goes in. Once New Jersey approves it, the New Mexico company can do business there.
