How Utah companies register with New Mexico

Order the Utah certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($12) is ordered from Utah separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. It comes as a short form ($12) or a long form ($20). Ordered from Utah on filing day, it easily meets New Mexico's limit of 30 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your New Mexico registered agent, next to your Utah name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Utah delays the New Mexico filing. Once New Mexico approves it, the Utah company can do business there.

Common questions: Utah to New Mexico

Does my Utah company need to register in New Mexico?

Yes, once a Utah business operates there; New Mexico does not count a one-off deal finished within 30 days.

$299 at checkout plus $12 to Utah for the Certificate of Existence, $311 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Utah's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Mexico wants Utah's Certificate of Existence ($12), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Utah and New Mexico?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Utah's report ($18) and no New Mexico yearly report.

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

A Utah 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 Utah registered agent stays, and ours covers New Mexico for year one.

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

Yes, but Utah keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no New Mexico yearly report, and the original keeps Utah's Annual Report/Renewal.

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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