How New York companies register with New Jersey

Order the New York certificate
The Certificate of Status ($25) is ordered from New York separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. New Jersey wants the New York certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your New Jersey 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 New Jersey filing waits for it. Once New Jersey approves it, the New York company can do business there.

Your New York name and New Jersey's rules

New Jersey accepts your New York 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 York company. We search New Jersey's records for New York's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: New Jersey and New York

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

Yearly filings: New Jersey and New York

Can I form a new New Jersey LLC instead?
