How Idaho companies register with New York

Order the Idaho certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Idaho separately; it is not part of our New York order. New York accepts it within one year of Idaho's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It lists us as your New York registered agent, next to your Idaho name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Idaho certificate comes first; then the New York filing goes in. Once New York approves it, the Idaho company can do business there.

Questions Idaho owners ask about New York

Does my Idaho company need to register in New York?

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

Do I need Idaho's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New York wants Idaho's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than one year old at filing.

New York's standard processing takes 7 business days, once Idaho's certificate is in hand. Paid expedite: 24-hour $25, same-day $75.

What are the yearly costs for Idaho and New York?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Idaho's report (no fee) and New York's report ($9, every two years).

What if I don't register with New York?

An Idaho company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New York require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New York LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New York later?

Idaho 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 Idaho's filings.
