How New Mexico companies register with Vermont

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 Vermont order. Vermont counts 30 days from the day New Mexico issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Vermont registered agent, with your New Mexico name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once New Mexico's certificate is in hand, Vermont's filing goes in. After approval, your New Mexico corporation is registered with Vermont.

Will Vermont 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 Vermont corporation instead?
