How Wisconsin companies register with New Mexico

Order the Wisconsin certificate
The Certificate of Status ($10) is ordered from Wisconsin separately; it is not part of our New Mexico order. An instant Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin name and formation date and the certificate attached. Wisconsin issues the certificate instantly, so the New Mexico filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Wisconsin LLC is registered with New Mexico.

Agents: New Mexico and Wisconsin

Wisconsin and New Mexico both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Wisconsin; ours takes New Mexico's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: New Mexico and Wisconsin

Wisconsin wants the Annual Report (Form 5 / CORP5) every year ($25); New Mexico has no annual report for LLCs. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Wisconsin to New Mexico

A corporation formed in Wisconsin files its own registration with New Mexico ($200 in state fees). After that come Wisconsin's Domestic Business Corporation Annual Report ($25) and New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New Mexico into Wisconsin

An LLC formed in New Mexico that registers with Wisconsin files Form 521 with $100 in state fees; no New Mexico certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Wisconsin owners ask about New Mexico

Does my Wisconsin company need to register in New Mexico?

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

How much does it cost to register a Wisconsin LLC in New Mexico?

$299 at checkout plus $10 to Wisconsin for the Certificate of Status, $309 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Wisconsin's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Mexico wants Wisconsin's Certificate of Status ($10), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Wisconsin and New Mexico?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Wisconsin's report ($25) and no New Mexico yearly report.

What if I don't register with New Mexico?

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

Can I form a new New Mexico LLC instead?

Yes, but Wisconsin keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no New Mexico yearly report, and the original keeps Wisconsin's Annual Report (Form 5 / CORP5).

How do I withdraw from New Mexico later?

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