Alaska LLC Foreign Registration in New Mexico

New Mexico registers an LLC from Alaska as a foreign LLC on an online registration (no form number), with $100 in state fees. New Mexico also asks for Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), no older than 30 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division from your Alaska records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Alaska companies register with New Mexico

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. Alaska takes days to issue it and New Mexico wants it within 30 days, so the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your New Mexico registered agent, with your Alaska name and formation date and the certificate attached. Allow for the days Alaska takes to send the certificate before the New Mexico filing goes in. Once New Mexico approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Your Alaska name and New Mexico's rules

We search New Mexico's records for Alaska's name on file before anything is filed.

Your New Mexico agent and the Alaska one

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

Staying in good standing in Alaska and New Mexico

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); New Mexico has no annual report for LLCs. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to New Mexico

A corporation formed in Alaska files its own registration with New Mexico ($200 in state fees). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New Mexico into Alaska

An LLC formed in New Mexico that registers with Alaska files Form 08-0497 with $350 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance. See that filing.

Common questions: Alaska to New Mexico

Does my Alaska company need to register in New Mexico?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; New Mexico does not count a one-off deal finished within 30 days.

How much does the New Mexico registration cost?

$299 at checkout plus $10 to Alaska for the Certificate of Compliance, $309 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Mexico wants Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and New Mexico?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and no New Mexico yearly report.

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

An Alaska company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and New Mexico can add up to $200 for each year or part of a year.

Does New Mexico require a registered agent?

Yes: the Alaska registered agent stays, and ours covers New Mexico for year one.

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no New Mexico yearly report, and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

Alaska companies leave by filing an Application for Cancellation of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, both the New Mexico registration and Alaska's filings stay in place.
