How New York companies register with Missouri

Order the New York certificate
The Certificate of Status ($25) is ordered from New York separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. Mail time from New York counts against Missouri's limit of 60 days, so the order allows for transit.
We prepare and file Form Corp 42
It lists us as your Missouri registered agent, next to your New York name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The New York certificate takes days to arrive, so the Missouri filing waits for it. After approval, your New York corporation is registered with Missouri.
