From Connecticut to New Mexico, step by step

Order the Connecticut certificate
The Certificate of Legal Existence ($50) is ordered from Connecticut separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). New Mexico accepts it within 30 days of Connecticut's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your New Mexico registered agent, with your Connecticut name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Connecticut's certificate is in hand, New Mexico's filing goes in. After approval, your Connecticut LLC is registered with New Mexico.

Questions Connecticut owners ask about New Mexico

Does my Connecticut company need to register in New Mexico?

Yes, once a Connecticut 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 $50 to Connecticut for the Certificate of Legal Existence, $349 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Connecticut's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Mexico wants Connecticut's Certificate of Legal Existence ($50), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Connecticut and New Mexico?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Connecticut's report ($80) and no New Mexico yearly report.

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

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

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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