How New Hampshire companies register with New York

Order the New Hampshire certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($5) is ordered from New Hampshire separately; it is not part of our New York order. It comes as a short form ($5) or a long form ($10). New York accepts it within one year of New Hampshire's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It names us as your New York registered agent, with your New Hampshire name and formation date and the certificate attached. The New Hampshire certificate comes first; then the New York filing goes in. After approval, your New Hampshire LLC is registered with New York.
