New Jersey LLC Foreign Registration in New Hampshire

New Hampshire registers an LLC from New Jersey as a foreign LLC on Form FLLC-1, with $102 in state fees. New Hampshire asks nothing of New Jersey here, not even the Standing Certificate. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporation Division from your New Jersey records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How New Jersey companies register with New Hampshire

We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It lists us as your New Hampshire registered agent, next to your New Jersey name and formation date. No New Jersey paperwork holds up the New Hampshire filing. After approval, your New Jersey LLC is registered with New Hampshire.

Your New Jersey name and New Hampshire's rules

We search New Hampshire's records for New Jersey's name on file before anything is filed.

Your New Hampshire agent and the New Jersey one

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

Yearly filings: New Hampshire and New Jersey

Each year your LLC files New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). With our $149 registered agent renewal, New Jersey plus New Hampshire comes to $324 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, New Jersey to New Hampshire

A corporation formed in New Jersey files Form 40 with New Hampshire ($102 in state fees, the same). After that come New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New Hampshire into New Jersey

An LLC formed in New Hampshire that registers with New Jersey files New Jersey's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($5). See that filing.

Questions New Jersey owners ask about New Hampshire

Does my New Jersey company need to register in New Hampshire?

How much does it cost to register a New Jersey LLC in New Hampshire?

$301 at checkout, with nothing to pay New Jersey.

Do I need New Jersey's certificate of good standing?

No, New Hampshire takes Form FLLC-1 without it.

$324 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $75 to New Jersey and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

A New Jersey company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

Yes: the New Jersey registered agent stays, and ours covers New Hampshire for year one.

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

Yes, but New Jersey keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($102), and the original keeps New Jersey's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

New Jersey companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Cancellation of Registration of Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, New Hampshire's report stays due alongside New Jersey's filings.
