How Michigan companies register with New Mexico

Order the Michigan certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Michigan separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. New Mexico counts 30 days from the day Michigan issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your New Mexico registered agent, with your Michigan name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Michigan's certificate is in hand, New Mexico's filing goes in. After approval, your Michigan LLC is registered with New Mexico.

Your Michigan name and New Mexico's rules

We search New Mexico's records for Michigan's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: New Mexico and Michigan

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

Yearly filings: New Mexico and Michigan

Michigan wants the Annual Statement every year ($25); New Mexico has no annual report for LLCs. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Michigan to New Mexico

A corporation formed in Michigan files its own registration with New Mexico ($200 in state fees). After that come Michigan's Annual Report, Form CSCL/CD-2500 ($25) and New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New Mexico into Michigan

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

Questions Michigan owners ask about New Mexico

Does my Michigan company need to register in New Mexico?

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

How much does the New Mexico registration cost?

$299 at checkout plus $10 to Michigan for the Certificate of Good Standing, $309 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Michigan's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Mexico wants it ($10), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Michigan and New Mexico?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Michigan's report ($25) and no New Mexico yearly report.

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

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

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

Yes, but Michigan keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no New Mexico yearly report, and the original keeps Michigan's Annual Statement.

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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