From New Mexico to Florida, step by step

Order the New Mexico certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance is ordered from New Mexico separately; it is not part of our Florida order. Florida counts 90 days from the day New Mexico issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form CR2E027
It lists us as your Florida registered agent, next to your New Mexico name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The New Mexico certificate comes first; then the Florida filing goes in. After approval, your New Mexico LLC is registered with Florida.

Will your New Mexico name work for Florida?

Florida 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 Florida's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the New Mexico company. Florida can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Agents: Florida and New Mexico

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

Yearly filings: Florida and New Mexico

New Mexico has no annual report for LLCs; Florida wants the Annual Report every year ($138.75). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, New Mexico to Florida

A corporation formed in New Mexico files Form CR2E007 with Florida ($70 in state fees). After that come New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25) and Florida's Annual Report ($150). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Florida into New Mexico

An LLC formed in Florida that registers with New Mexico files New Mexico's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Status ($5) dated within 30 days. See that filing.

Questions New Mexico owners ask about Florida

Does my New Mexico company need to register in Florida?

Yes, once a New Mexico business operates there; Florida law lists 13 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Florida registration cost?

$324 at checkout, plus New Mexico's Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance.

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

Yes: Florida wants it, no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for New Mexico and Florida?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no New Mexico yearly report and Florida's report ($138.75).

What if I don't register with Florida?

A New Mexico company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Florida can add a civil penalty of up to $1,000 and a fine of at least $500.

Does Florida require a registered agent?

Yes: the New Mexico registered agent stays, and ours covers Florida for year one, with a street address there.

Will Florida accept my New Mexico name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its New Mexico name at home. Florida names must include Limited Liability Company, L.L.C. or LLC.

Can I form a new Florida LLC instead?

Yes, but New Mexico keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Florida's Annual Report ($138.75), and New Mexico has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Florida later?

New Mexico companies leave by filing a Notice of Withdrawal of Certificate of Authority ($25); until then, Florida's report stays due alongside New Mexico's filings.
