How New Mexico companies register with New York

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 York order. New York counts one year from the day New Mexico issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It lists us as your New York registered agent, next to your New Mexico name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once New Mexico's certificate is in hand, New York's filing goes in. Once New York approves it, the New Mexico company can do business there.

New York costs for New Mexico companies

Item	Amount
State fees, paid at order	$250
Our service, with a year of New York registered agent service	$199

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

Your New Mexico name and New York's rules

Does New York require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New York LLC instead?
