How Maryland companies register with New Mexico

Order the Maryland certificate
The Certificate of Status ($20) is ordered from Maryland separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. Ordered from Maryland on filing day, it easily meets New Mexico's limit of 30 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your New Mexico registered agent, with your Maryland name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Maryland delays the New Mexico filing. After approval, your Maryland LLC is registered with New Mexico.

A corporation formed in Maryland files its own registration with New Mexico ($200 in state fees). After that come Maryland's periodic report ($300) and New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New Mexico into Maryland

An LLC formed in New Mexico that registers with Maryland files Maryland's registration (no form number) with $104.50 in state fees and a $50 required expedite, plus the Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Maryland to New Mexico

Does my Maryland company need to register in New Mexico?

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

How much does it cost to register a Maryland LLC in New Mexico?

$299 at checkout plus $20 to Maryland for the Certificate of Status, $319 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Maryland's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Mexico wants Maryland's Certificate of Status ($20), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Maryland and New Mexico?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Maryland's report ($300) and no New Mexico yearly report.

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

A Maryland 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 Maryland resident agent stays, and ours covers New Mexico for year one.

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

Yes, but Maryland keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no New Mexico yearly report, and the original keeps Maryland's Business Entity Annual Report (Form 1).

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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