How Georgia companies register with New York

Order the Georgia certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Georgia separately; it is not part of our New York order. Ordered from Georgia 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 Georgia name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Georgia delays the New York filing. Once New York approves it, the Georgia company can do business there.

Georgia wants the Annual Registration every year ($60); New York wants the Biennial Statement every two years ($9). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Georgia to New York

The other way: New York into Georgia

An LLC formed in New York that registers with Georgia files Form CD 241 with $235 in state fees; no New York certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Georgia owners ask about New York

Does my Georgia company need to register in New York?

Yes, once a Georgia business operates there; New York registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the New York registration cost?

$449 at checkout plus $10 to Georgia for the Certificate of Existence, $459 in all (checkout is $250 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Georgia's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New York wants Georgia's Certificate of Existence ($10), 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; Georgia's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing. Paid expedite: 24-hour $25, same-day $75.

What are the yearly costs for Georgia and New York?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Georgia's report ($60) and New York's report ($9, every two years).

What if I don't register with New York?

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

Does New York require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New York LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New York later?

Georgia 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 Georgia's filings.
