From Minnesota to New Mexico, step by step

Order the Minnesota certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($5) is ordered from Minnesota separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. Ordered from Minnesota 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 Minnesota name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Minnesota delays the New Mexico filing. After approval, your Minnesota LLC is registered with New Mexico.

Your New Mexico agent and the Minnesota one

Minnesota and New Mexico both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Minnesota; ours takes New Mexico's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: New Mexico and Minnesota

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

LLC or corporation, Minnesota to New Mexico

A corporation formed in Minnesota files its own registration with New Mexico ($200 in state fees). After that come Minnesota's Annual Renewal (no fee) and New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New Mexico into Minnesota

An LLC formed in New Mexico that registers with Minnesota files Minnesota's registration (no form number) with $205 in state fees; no New Mexico certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Minnesota owners ask about New Mexico

Does my Minnesota company need to register in New Mexico?

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

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

$299 at checkout plus $5 to Minnesota for the Certificate of Good Standing, $304 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Minnesota's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Mexico wants it ($5), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Minnesota and New Mexico?

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

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

A Minnesota 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 Minnesota registered agent stays, and ours covers New Mexico for year one.

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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