Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

Yes: the Washington registered agent stays, and ours covers New Hampshire for year one.

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Washington companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Cancellation of Registration of Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, New Hampshire's report stays due alongside Washington's filings.
