From Arkansas to New York, step by step

Order the Arkansas certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($25) is ordered from Arkansas separately; it is not part of our New York order. An instant Arkansas certificate reaches New York only hours old, well inside the limit of one year.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It names us as your New York registered agent, with your Arkansas name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Arkansas delays the New York filing. After approval, your Arkansas LLC is registered with New York.

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

Common questions: Arkansas to New York

Does my Arkansas company need to register in New York?

Yes, once an Arkansas business operates there; New York registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the New York registration cost?

$449 at checkout plus $25 to Arkansas for the Certificate of Good Standing, $474 in all (checkout is $250 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Arkansas's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New York wants it ($25), no more than one year old at filing.

How long does the New York registration take?

New York's standard processing takes 7 business days; Arkansas's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing. Paid expedite: 24-hour $25, same-day $75.

What are the yearly costs for Arkansas and New York?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Arkansas's report ($150) and New York's report ($9, every two years).

What if I don't register with New York?

An Arkansas company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New York require a registered agent?

Yes: the Arkansas registered agent stays, and ours covers New York for year one.

Can I form a new New York LLC instead?

Yes, but Arkansas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New York's Biennial Statement ($9), and the original keeps Arkansas's Annual LLC Franchise Tax Report.

How do I withdraw from New York later?

Arkansas companies leave by filing a Certificate of Surrender of Authority of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, New York's report stays due alongside Arkansas's filings.
