Hawaii LLC Foreign Registration in New Hampshire

New Hampshire registers an LLC from Hawaii as a foreign LLC on Form FLLC-1, with $102 in state fees. New Hampshire needs nothing from Hawaii: no Good Standing Certificate. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporation Division using your Hawaii records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Hawaii to New Hampshire, step by step

We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It lists us as your New Hampshire registered agent, next to your Hawaii name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Hawaii first, so the New Hampshire filing can go in right away. Once New Hampshire approves it, the Hawaii company can do business there.

Your Hawaii name and New Hampshire's rules

We check your exact Hawaii name against New Hampshire's records before filing.

Agents: New Hampshire and Hawaii

Hawaii and New Hampshire both call it a registered agent. New Hampshire papers come to us; Hawaii's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Hawaii and New Hampshire

Each year your LLC files Hawaii's Domestic Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form C5) ($12.50) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Hawaii plus New Hampshire comes to $261.50 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Hawaii to New Hampshire

A corporation formed in Hawaii files Form 40 with New Hampshire ($102 in state fees, the same). After that come Hawaii's Annual Report ($15) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New Hampshire into Hawaii

An LLC formed in New Hampshire that registers with Hawaii files Form FLLC-1 with $51 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($5) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Hawaii owners ask about New Hampshire

Does my Hawaii company need to register in New Hampshire?

Yes, once a Hawaii business operates there; New Hampshire does not count a one-off deal finished within 30 days.

How much does the New Hampshire registration cost?

$301 at checkout, with nothing to pay Hawaii.

Do I need Hawaii's certificate of good standing?

No, New Hampshire takes Form FLLC-1 without it.

What are the yearly costs for Hawaii and New Hampshire?

$261.50 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $12.50 to Hawaii and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

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

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

Yes: the Hawaii registered agent stays, and ours covers New Hampshire for year one.

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

Yes, but Hawaii keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($102), and the original keeps Hawaii's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Hawaii companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Cancellation of Registration of Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, New Hampshire's report stays due alongside Hawaii's filings.
