From Michigan to New York, step by step

Order the Michigan certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Michigan separately; it is not part of our New York order. New York accepts it within one year of Michigan's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It names us as your New York registered agent, with your Michigan name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Michigan certificate comes first; then the New York filing goes in. After approval, your Michigan LLC is registered with New York.

Common questions: Michigan to New York

Does my Michigan company need to register in New York?

Yes, once a Michigan business operates there; New York registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the New York registration cost?

$449 at checkout plus $10 to Michigan for the Certificate of Good Standing, $459 in all (checkout is $250 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Michigan's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New York wants it ($10), 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, once Michigan's certificate is in hand. Paid expedite: 24-hour $25, same-day $75.

What are the yearly costs for Michigan and New York?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Michigan's report ($25) and New York's report ($9, every two years).

What if I don't register with New York?

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

Does New York require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New York LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New York later?

Michigan 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 Michigan's filings.
