How Mississippi companies register with New Mexico

Order the Mississippi certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25) is ordered from Mississippi separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. Ordered from Mississippi on filing day, it easily meets New Mexico's limit of 30 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your New Mexico registered agent, next to your Mississippi name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Mississippi issues the certificate instantly, so the New Mexico filing can go in the same day. Once New Mexico approves it, the Mississippi company can do business there.

Common questions: Mississippi to New Mexico

Does my Mississippi company need to register in New Mexico?

$299 at checkout plus $25 to Mississippi for the Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence, $324 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Mississippi's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Mexico wants it ($25), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Mississippi and New Mexico?

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

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

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

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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