From Maryland to New York, step by step

Order the Maryland certificate
The Certificate of Status ($20) is ordered from Maryland separately; it is not part of our New York order. An instant Maryland certificate reaches New York only hours old, well inside the limit of one year.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It names us as your New York registered agent, with your Maryland name and formation date and the certificate attached. Maryland issues the certificate instantly, so the New York filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Maryland LLC is registered with New York.

Your Maryland name and New York's rules

We search New York's records for Maryland's name on file before anything is filed.

Your New York agent and the Maryland one

New York calls it a registered agent; Maryland says resident agent. Your current resident agent stays for Maryland; ours takes New York's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: New York and Maryland

Maryland wants the Business Entity Annual Report (Form 1) every year ($300); New York wants the Biennial Statement every two years ($9). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Maryland to New York

A corporation formed in Maryland files Form DOS-1335-f-a with New York ($225 in state fees). After that come Maryland's periodic report ($300) and New York's Biennial Statement ($9). See the corporation filing.

Registering a New York company in Maryland

An LLC formed in New York 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 Status ($25) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Maryland owners ask about New York

Does my Maryland company need to register in New York?

$449 at checkout plus $20 to Maryland for the Certificate of Status, $469 in all (checkout is $250 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Maryland's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New York wants Maryland's Certificate of Status ($20), no more than one year old at filing.

How long does the New York registration take?

New York's standard processing takes 7 business days; Maryland's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing. Paid expedite: 24-hour $25, same-day $75.

What are the yearly costs for Maryland and New York?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Maryland's report ($300) and New York's report ($9, every two years).

What if I don't register with New York?

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

Does New York require a registered agent?

Yes: the Maryland resident agent stays, and ours covers New York for year one.

Can I form a new New York LLC instead?

Yes, but Maryland keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New York's Biennial Statement ($9), and the original keeps Maryland's Business Entity Annual Report (Form 1).

How do I withdraw from New York later?

Maryland 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 Maryland's filings.
