From Wisconsin to New York, step by step

We prepare and file Form DOS-1335-f-a
It names us as your New York registered agent, with your Wisconsin name and formation date. If New York wants the Wisconsin certificate, it is ordered first. Once New York approves it, the Wisconsin company can do business there.

Will your Wisconsin name work for New York?

We check your exact Wisconsin name against New York's records before filing.

Your New York agent and the Wisconsin one

Wisconsin and New York both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Wisconsin; ours takes New York's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Wisconsin and New York

Wisconsin wants the Domestic Business Corporation Annual Report every year ($25); New York wants the Biennial Statement every two years ($9). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Wisconsin to New York

An LLC formed in Wisconsin files Form DOS-1361-f-a with New York ($250 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Status ($10)). After that come Wisconsin's Annual Report (Form 5 / CORP5) ($25) and New York's Biennial Statement ($9). See the LLC filing.

The other way: New York into Wisconsin

A corporation formed in New York that registers with Wisconsin files Form 21 with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Status ($25) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Does New York require a registered agent?
