Michigan LLC Foreign Registration in New Hampshire

New Hampshire registers an LLC from Michigan as a foreign LLC on Form FLLC-1, with $102 in state fees. New Hampshire needs nothing from Michigan: no Certificate of Good Standing. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporation Division from your Michigan records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Michigan companies register with New Hampshire

We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It lists us as your New Hampshire registered agent, next to your Michigan name and formation date. No Michigan paperwork holds up the New Hampshire filing. After approval, your Michigan LLC is registered with New Hampshire.

Your Michigan name and New Hampshire's rules

We check your exact Michigan name against New Hampshire's records before filing.

Agents: New Hampshire and Michigan

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

Staying in good standing in Michigan and New Hampshire

Each year your LLC files Michigan's Annual Statement ($25) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Michigan plus New Hampshire comes to $274 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Michigan to New Hampshire

A corporation formed in Michigan files Form 40 with New Hampshire ($102 in state fees, the same). After that come Michigan's Annual Report, Form CSCL/CD-2500 ($25) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New Hampshire into Michigan

An LLC formed in New Hampshire that registers with Michigan files Form CSCL/CD 760 with $50 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($5) dated within 30 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Michigan to New Hampshire

Does my Michigan company need to register in New Hampshire?

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

How much does the New Hampshire registration cost?

$301 at checkout, with nothing to pay Michigan.

Do I need Michigan's certificate of good standing?

No, New Hampshire takes Form FLLC-1 without it.

What are the yearly costs for Michigan and New Hampshire?

$274 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $25 to Michigan and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

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

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

Yes: the Michigan resident agent stays, and ours covers New Hampshire for year one.

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

Yes, but Michigan keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($102), and the original keeps Michigan's Annual Statement.

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Michigan companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Cancellation of Registration of Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, New Hampshire's report stays due alongside Michigan's filings.
