To do business in New Mexico, an LLC formed in Nevada registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $100 in state fees. New Mexico also asks for Nevada's Certificate of Existence ($50), no older than 30 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division using your Nevada records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Nevada to New Mexico, step by step

Order the Nevada certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($50) is ordered from Nevada separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. New Mexico accepts it within 30 days of Nevada's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your New Mexico registered agent, with your Nevada name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Nevada's certificate is in hand, New Mexico's filing goes in. Once New Mexico approves it, the Nevada company can do business there.

Your Nevada name and New Mexico's rules

We search New Mexico's records for Nevada's name on file before anything is filed.

Your New Mexico agent and the Nevada one

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

Yearly filings: New Mexico and Nevada

Nevada wants a periodic report every year ($350); New Mexico has no annual report for LLCs. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Nevada to New Mexico

A corporation formed in Nevada files its own registration with New Mexico ($200 in state fees). After that come Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent and New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New Mexico into Nevada

An LLC formed in New Mexico that registers with Nevada files Nevada's registration (no form number) with $425 in state fees; no New Mexico certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Nevada owners ask about New Mexico

Does my Nevada company need to register in New Mexico?

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

How much does the New Mexico registration cost?

$299 at checkout plus $50 to Nevada for the Certificate of Existence, $349 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Nevada's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Mexico wants Nevada's Certificate of Existence ($50), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Nevada and New Mexico?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nevada's report ($350) and no New Mexico yearly report.

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

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

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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