How New Mexico companies register with Nevada

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Nevada registered agent, next to your New Mexico name and formation date. No New Mexico paperwork holds up the Nevada filing. Once Nevada approves it, the New Mexico company can do business there.

Will your New Mexico name work for Nevada?

Nevada can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Your Nevada agent and the New Mexico one

New Mexico and Nevada both call it a registered agent. Nevada papers come to us; New Mexico's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in New Mexico and Nevada

New Mexico has no annual report for LLCs; Nevada wants a periodic report every year ($350). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, New Mexico to Nevada

A corporation formed in New Mexico files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same). After that come New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25) and Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent. See the corporation filing.

The other way: Nevada into New Mexico

An LLC formed in Nevada that registers with New Mexico files New Mexico's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50) dated within 30 days. See that filing.

Common questions: New Mexico to Nevada

Does my New Mexico company need to register in Nevada?

Yes, once a New Mexico business operates there; Nevada registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

$624 at checkout, with nothing to pay New Mexico.

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

No, Nevada takes the registration without it.

How long does the Nevada registration take?

Nevada says most online filings are processed the same day at no extra charge; nothing comes from New Mexico first. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

What are the yearly costs for New Mexico and Nevada?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no New Mexico yearly report and Nevada's report ($350).

What if I don't register with Nevada?

Nevada can charge a New Mexico company a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada LLC instead?

Yes, but New Mexico keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nevada's periodic report ($350), and New Mexico has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

New Mexico companies leave by filing a Certificate of Dissolution/Cancellation; until then, Nevada's report stays due alongside New Mexico's filings.
