How New Mexico companies register with Vermont

Order the New Mexico certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance is ordered from New Mexico separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. Vermont 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 Vermont registered agent, with your New Mexico name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once New Mexico's certificate is in hand, Vermont's filing goes in. Once Vermont approves it, the New Mexico company can do business there.

A corporation formed in New Mexico files its own registration with Vermont ($155 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance ($50)). After that come New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25) and Vermont's Annual Report ($250). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Vermont into New Mexico

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

Will Vermont accept my New Mexico name?

Can I form a new Vermont LLC instead?
