How New York companies register with Vermont

Order the New York certificate
The Certificate of Status ($25) is ordered from New York separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. Mail time from New York counts against Vermont's limit of 90 days, so the order allows for transit.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Vermont registered agent, with your New York name and formation date and the certificate attached. Allow for the days New York takes to send the certificate before the Vermont filing goes in. Once Vermont approves it, the New York company can do business there.
