How Connecticut companies register with New York

Order the Connecticut certificate
The Certificate of Legal Existence ($50) is ordered from Connecticut separately; it is not part of our New York order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). New York counts one year from the day Connecticut issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It names us as your New York registered agent, with your Connecticut name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Connecticut's certificate is in hand, New York's filing goes in. Once New York approves it, the Connecticut company can do business there.

Common questions: Connecticut to New York

Does my Connecticut company need to register in New York?

How much does the New York registration cost?

$449 at checkout plus $50 to Connecticut for the Certificate of Legal Existence, $499 in all (checkout is $250 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Connecticut's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New York wants Connecticut's Certificate of Legal Existence ($50), 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, once Connecticut's certificate is in hand. Paid expedite: 24-hour $25, same-day $75.

What are the yearly costs for Connecticut and New York?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Connecticut's report ($80) and New York's report ($9, every two years).

What if I don't register with New York?

A Connecticut company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New York require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New York LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New York later?

Connecticut 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 Connecticut's filings.
