How Florida companies register with New Mexico

Order the Florida certificate
The Certificate of Status ($5) is ordered from Florida separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. An instant Florida 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 Florida name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Florida delays the New Mexico filing. Once New Mexico approves it, the Florida company can do business there.

Your New Mexico agent and the Florida one

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

Yearly filings: New Mexico and Florida

Florida wants the Annual Report every year ($138.75); New Mexico has no annual report for LLCs. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Florida to New Mexico

A corporation formed in Florida files its own registration with New Mexico ($200 in state fees). After that come Florida's Annual Report ($150) and New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25). See the corporation filing.

Registering a New Mexico company in Florida

An LLC formed in New Mexico that registers with Florida files Form CR2E027 with $125 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Florida owners ask about New Mexico

Does my Florida company need to register in New Mexico?

Yes, once a Florida 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 $5 to Florida for the Certificate of Status, $304 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Florida's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Mexico wants Florida's Certificate of Status ($5), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Florida and New Mexico?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Florida's report ($138.75) and no New Mexico yearly report.

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

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

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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