How Virginia companies register with New York

Order the Virginia certificate
The Certificate of Fact of Existence/Registration ($6) is ordered from Virginia separately; it is not part of our New York order. Ordered from Virginia on filing day, it easily meets New York's 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 Virginia name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Virginia delays the New York filing. After approval, your Virginia LLC is registered with New York.
