How New Mexico companies register with Connecticut

Order the New Mexico certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance is ordered from New Mexico separately; it is not part of our Connecticut order. Connecticut accepts it within 90 days of New Mexico's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Connecticut registered agent, with your New Mexico name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once New Mexico's certificate is in hand, Connecticut's filing goes in. Once Connecticut approves it, the New Mexico company can do business there.

Connecticut costs for New Mexico companies

Item	Amount
