From New Jersey to New York, step by step

Order the New Jersey certificate
The Standing Certificate ($50) is ordered from New Jersey separately; it is not part of our New York order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). New York counts one year from the day New Jersey issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It names us as your New York registered agent, with your New Jersey name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once New Jersey's certificate is in hand, New York's filing goes in. Once New York approves it, the New Jersey company can do business there.

Your New Jersey name and New York's rules

We check your exact New Jersey name against New York's records before filing.

Your New York agent and the New Jersey one

New Jersey and New York both call it a registered agent. New York papers come to us; New Jersey's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: New York and New Jersey

New Jersey wants the Annual Report every year ($75); New York wants the Biennial Statement every two years ($9). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, New Jersey to New York

A corporation formed in New Jersey files Form DOS-1335-f-a with New York ($225 in state fees). After that come New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and New York's Biennial Statement ($9). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New York into New Jersey

An LLC formed in New York that registers with New Jersey files New Jersey's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Status ($25). See that filing.
