New Mexico LLC Foreign Registration in Utah

Utah registers an LLC from New Mexico as a foreign LLC on an online registration (no form number), with $59 in state fees. Utah also wants New Mexico's Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance, dated within 90 days. We file it with the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code using your New Mexico records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From New Mexico to Utah, step by step

Order the New Mexico certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance is ordered from New Mexico separately; it is not part of our Utah order. Utah accepts it within 90 days of New Mexico's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Utah registered agent, with your New Mexico name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once New Mexico's certificate is in hand, Utah's filing goes in. After approval, your New Mexico LLC is registered with Utah.

Your New Mexico name and Utah's rules

If another Utah company uses the New Mexico name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Utah's records for New Mexico's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Utah agent and the New Mexico one

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

Yearly filings: Utah and New Mexico

New Mexico has no annual report for LLCs; Utah wants the Annual Report/Renewal every year ($18). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, New Mexico to Utah

A corporation formed in New Mexico files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same). After that come New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Utah into New Mexico

An LLC formed in Utah that registers with New Mexico files New Mexico's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($12) dated within 30 days. See that filing.

Questions New Mexico owners ask about Utah

Does my New Mexico company need to register in Utah?

Yes, once a New Mexico business operates there; Utah law lists 14 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout, plus New Mexico's Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance.

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

Yes: Utah wants it, no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for New Mexico and Utah?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no New Mexico yearly report and Utah's report ($18).

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my New Mexico name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its New Mexico name at home.

Can I form a new Utah LLC instead?

Yes, but New Mexico keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18), and New Mexico has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

New Mexico companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside New Mexico's filings.
