How Idaho companies register with New Mexico

Order the Idaho certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Idaho separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. New Mexico accepts it within 30 days of Idaho's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your New Mexico registered agent, next to your Idaho name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once Idaho's certificate is in hand, New Mexico's filing goes in. Once New Mexico approves it, the Idaho company can do business there.

Your New Mexico agent and the Idaho one

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

Yearly filings: New Mexico and Idaho

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

LLC or corporation, Idaho to New Mexico

A corporation formed in Idaho files its own registration with New Mexico ($200 in state fees). After that come Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25). See the corporation filing.

Registering a New Mexico company in Idaho

An LLC formed in New Mexico that registers with Idaho files Idaho's registration (no form number) with $103.50 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Idaho owners ask about New Mexico

Does my Idaho company need to register in New Mexico?

Yes, once an Idaho 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 $10 to Idaho for the Certificate of Existence, $309 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Idaho's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Mexico wants Idaho's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Idaho and New Mexico?

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

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

An Idaho 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 Idaho registered agent stays, and ours covers New Mexico for year one.

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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