How Missouri companies register with New Mexico

Order the Missouri certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Missouri separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. New Mexico counts 30 days from the day Missouri 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 Missouri name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Missouri's certificate is in hand, New Mexico's filing goes in. After approval, your Missouri LLC is registered with New Mexico.

Yes: the Missouri registered agent stays, and ours covers New Mexico for year one.

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?
