How New Mexico companies register with New Jersey

Order the New Mexico certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance is ordered from New Mexico separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. New Jersey wants the New Mexico certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your New Jersey registered agent, with your New Mexico name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once New Mexico's certificate is in hand, New Jersey's filing goes in. Once New Jersey approves it, the New Mexico company can do business there.

New Jersey costs for New Mexico companies

Item	Amount
State fees, paid at order	$100
Our service, with a year of New Jersey registered agent service	$199

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

Your New Mexico name and New Jersey's rules

New Jersey accepts your New Mexico name if it includes LTD Liability Co., LTD Liability Company, Limited Liability Co., Limited Liability Company or L.L.C.. If New Jersey's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the New Mexico company. We check your exact New Mexico name against New Jersey's records before filing.

Agents: New Jersey and New Mexico

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

The other way: New Jersey into New Mexico

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

Does New Jersey require a registered agent?

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

Will New Jersey accept my New Mexico name?

Can I form a new New Jersey LLC instead?

Yes, but New Mexico keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Jersey's Annual Report ($75), and New Mexico has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from New Jersey later?

New Mexico companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation for a foreign LLC; until then, New Jersey's report stays due alongside New Mexico's filings.
