How Vermont companies register with New Mexico

Order the Vermont certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($35) is ordered from Vermont separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. An instant Vermont certificate reaches New Mexico only hours old, well inside the limit of 30 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your New Mexico registered agent, with your Vermont name and formation date and the certificate attached. Vermont issues the certificate instantly, so the New Mexico filing can go in the same day. Once New Mexico approves it, the Vermont company can do business there.

Questions Vermont owners ask about New Mexico

Does my Vermont company need to register in New Mexico?

Yes: New Mexico wants it ($35), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Vermont and New Mexico?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Vermont's report ($45) and no New Mexico yearly report.

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

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

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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