How Hawaii companies register with New York

Order the Hawaii certificate
The Good Standing Certificate ($5) is ordered from Hawaii separately; it is not part of our New York order. New York accepts it within one year of Hawaii's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It names us as your New York registered agent, with your Hawaii name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Hawaii's certificate is in hand, New York's filing goes in. After approval, your Hawaii LLC is registered with New York.

Do I need Hawaii's certificate of good standing?

What are the yearly costs for Hawaii and New York?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Hawaii's report ($12.50) and New York's report ($9, every two years).

What if I don't register with New York?

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

Does New York require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New York LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New York later?

Hawaii 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 Hawaii's filings.
