How New Jersey companies register with New Mexico

Order the New Jersey certificate
The Standing Certificate ($50) is ordered from New Jersey separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). New Mexico counts 30 days from the day New Jersey issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your New Mexico registered agent, next to your New Jersey name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once New Jersey's certificate is in hand, New Mexico's filing goes in. Once New Mexico approves it, the New Jersey company can do business there.

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

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

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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