What if I don't register with Minnesota?

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

Does Minnesota require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Minnesota LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Minnesota later?

New Mexico companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of a Foreign Limited Liability Company ($35); until then, Minnesota's report stays due alongside New Mexico's filings.
