How Indiana companies register with New Jersey

Order the Indiana certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($15) is ordered from Indiana separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. New Jersey wants the Indiana certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your New Jersey registered agent, with your Indiana name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Indiana certificate comes first; then the New Jersey filing goes in. Once New Jersey approves it, the Indiana company can do business there.

Your Indiana name and New Jersey's rules

Can I form a new New Jersey LLC instead?
