How New York companies register with New Mexico

Order the New York certificate
The Certificate of Status ($25) is ordered from New York separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. Mail time from New York counts against New Mexico's limit of 30 days, so the order allows for transit.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your New Mexico 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 Mexico filing waits for it. Once New Mexico approves it, the New York company can do business there.

Questions New York owners ask about New Mexico

Does my New York company need to register in New Mexico?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), New York's report ($9, every two years) and no New Mexico yearly report.

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

A New York company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and New Mexico can add up to $200 for each year or part of a year.

Does New Mexico require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

Yes, but New York keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no New Mexico yearly report, and the original keeps New York's Biennial Statement.

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

New York companies leave by filing an Application for Cancellation of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, both the New Mexico registration and New York's filings stay in place.
