How New Mexico companies register with Michigan

Order the New Mexico certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance is ordered from New Mexico separately; it is not part of our Michigan order. Michigan accepts it within 30 days of New Mexico's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form CSCL/CD 760
It lists us as your Michigan resident agent, next to your New Mexico name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once New Mexico's certificate is in hand, Michigan's filing goes in. After approval, your New Mexico LLC is registered with Michigan.

First-year cost, New Mexico to Michigan

Item	Amount
State fees, paid at order	$50
Our service, with a year of Michigan resident agent service	$199

Plus the Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance, priced by New Mexico. Michigan's paid expedite is optional and not in the total.

Common questions: New Mexico to Michigan

Does my New Mexico company need to register in Michigan?

How much does it cost to register a New Mexico LLC in Michigan?

$249 at checkout, plus New Mexico's Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance.

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

Yes: Michigan wants it, no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for New Mexico and Michigan?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), no New Mexico yearly report and Michigan's report ($25).

What if I don't register with Michigan?

A New Mexico company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Michigan require a registered agent?

Yes: the New Mexico registered agent stays, and ours covers Michigan for year one.

Can I form a new Michigan LLC instead?

Yes, but New Mexico keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Michigan's Annual Statement ($25), and New Mexico has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Michigan later?

New Mexico companies leave by filing a Certificate of Withdrawal ($10); until then, Michigan's report stays due alongside New Mexico's filings.
