How New York companies register with New Jersey

Order the New York certificate
The Certificate of Status ($25) is ordered from New York separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. New Jersey wants the New York 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 York name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Allow for the days New York takes to send the certificate before the New Jersey filing goes in. Once New Jersey approves it, the New York company can do business there.
