From Missouri to New York, step by step

Order the Missouri certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Missouri separately; it is not part of our New York order. New York counts one year from the day Missouri issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It lists us as your New York registered agent, next to your Missouri name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once Missouri's certificate is in hand, New York's filing goes in. After approval, your Missouri LLC is registered with New York.

Questions Missouri owners ask about New York

How much does it cost to register a Missouri LLC in New York?

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

Do I need Missouri's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New York wants it ($10), no more than one year old at filing.

New York's standard processing takes 7 business days, once Missouri's certificate is in hand. Paid expedite: 24-hour $25, same-day $75.

What are the yearly costs for Missouri and New York?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Missouri yearly report and New York's report ($9, every two years).

What if I don't register with New York?

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

Does New York require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New York LLC instead?

Yes, but Missouri keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New York's Biennial Statement ($9), and Missouri has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from New York later?

Missouri 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 Missouri's filings.
