How New Mexico companies register with Missouri

Order the New Mexico certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance is ordered from New Mexico separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. Missouri accepts it within 60 days of New Mexico's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form LLC 4
It names us as your Missouri registered agent, with your New Mexico name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once New Mexico's certificate is in hand, Missouri's filing goes in. After approval, your New Mexico LLC is registered with Missouri.
