From Nebraska to New Mexico, step by step

Order the Nebraska certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50) is ordered from Nebraska separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. It comes as a short form ($6.50) or a long form ($10). Ordered from Nebraska 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 Nebraska name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Nebraska issues the certificate instantly, so the New Mexico filing can go in the same day. Once New Mexico approves it, the Nebraska company can do business there.

Questions Nebraska owners ask about New Mexico

Does my Nebraska company need to register in New Mexico?

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

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

$299 at checkout plus $6.50 to Nebraska for the Certificate of Good Standing, $305.50 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Nebraska's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Mexico wants it ($6.50), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and New Mexico?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nebraska's report ($25, every two years) and no New Mexico yearly report.

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

A Nebraska 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 Nebraska agent for service of process stays, and ours covers New Mexico for year one.

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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