How New York companies register with Connecticut

Order the New York certificate
The Certificate of Status ($25) is ordered from New York separately; it is not part of our Connecticut order. Mail time from New York counts against Connecticut's limit of 90 days, so the order allows for transit.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Connecticut registered agent, next to your New York name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The New York certificate takes days to arrive, so the Connecticut filing waits for it. After approval, your New York LLC is registered with Connecticut.
