From Vermont to New York, step by step

Order the Vermont certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($35) is ordered from Vermont separately; it is not part of our New York order. An instant Vermont certificate reaches New York only hours old, well inside the limit of one year.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It lists us as your New York registered agent, next to your Vermont name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Vermont delays the New York filing. After approval, your Vermont LLC is registered with New York.

Common questions: Vermont to New York

Does my Vermont company need to register in New York?

Yes, once a Vermont business operates there; New York registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the New York registration cost?

$449 at checkout plus $35 to Vermont for the Certificate of Good Standing, $484 in all (checkout is $250 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Vermont's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New York wants it ($35), no more than one year old at filing.

How long does the New York registration take?

New York's standard processing takes 7 business days; Vermont's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing. Paid expedite: 24-hour $25, same-day $75.

What are the yearly costs for Vermont and New York?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Vermont's report ($45) and New York's report ($9, every two years).

What if I don't register with New York?

A Vermont company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New York require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New York LLC instead?

Yes, but Vermont keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New York's Biennial Statement ($9), and the original keeps Vermont's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from New York later?

Vermont companies leave by filing a Certificate of Surrender of Authority of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, New York's report stays due alongside Vermont's filings.
