To do business in New Mexico, an LLC formed in Colorado registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $100 in state fees.

How Colorado companies register with New Mexico

Order the Colorado certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing (free) is ordered from Colorado separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. An instant Colorado certificate reaches New Mexico only hours old, well inside the limit of 30 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your New Mexico registered agent, with your Colorado name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Colorado delays the New Mexico filing. Once New Mexico approves it, the Colorado company can do business there.

Your Colorado name and New Mexico's rules

Agents: New Mexico and Colorado

Colorado and New Mexico both call it a registered agent. New Mexico papers come to us; Colorado's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: New Mexico and Colorado

Colorado wants the Periodic Report every year ($25); New Mexico has no annual report for LLCs. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Colorado to New Mexico

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

The other way: New Mexico into Colorado

An LLC formed in New Mexico that registers with Colorado files Colorado's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees; no New Mexico certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Colorado to New Mexico

Does my Colorado company need to register in New Mexico?

Yes, once a Colorado 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 Colorado's Certificate of Good Standing, which is free.

Do I need Colorado's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Mexico wants it (free), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Colorado and New Mexico?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Colorado's report ($25) and no New Mexico yearly report.

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

A Colorado 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 Colorado registered agent stays, and ours covers New Mexico for year one.

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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