From Colorado to New York, step by step

Order the Colorado certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing (free) is ordered from Colorado separately; it is not part of our New York order. Ordered from Colorado on filing day, it easily meets New York's limit of one year.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It names us as your New York 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 York filing. After approval, your Colorado LLC is registered with New York.

Does New York require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New York LLC instead?

How do I withdraw from New York later?

Colorado 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 Colorado's filings.
