New Mexico LLC Foreign Registration in Alabama

What New Mexico and Alabama each ask for

From New Mexico to Alabama, step by step

1. We prepare and file the registration

   It names us as your Alabama registered agent, with your New Mexico name and formation date. No New Mexico paperwork holds up the Alabama filing. Once Alabama approves it, the New Mexico company can do business there.

Will your New Mexico name work for Alabama?

Alabama accepts your New Mexico name if it includes limited liability company, L.L.C. or LLC. If the New Mexico name already ends in LLC, it meets the rule. If Alabama's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the New Mexico company. Alabama can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Your Alabama agent and the New Mexico one

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

Staying in good standing in New Mexico and Alabama

New Mexico has no annual report for LLCs; Alabama wants the Form PPT — Alabama Business Privilege Tax Return and Annual Report every year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, New Mexico to Alabama

A corporation formed in New Mexico files its own registration with Alabama ($184 in state fees, the same). After that come New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25) and Alabama's Business Privilege Tax return (Form CPT). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Alabama into New Mexico

An LLC formed in Alabama that registers with New Mexico files New Mexico's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($25) dated within 30 days. See that filing.
