Starting a company in New Mexico
Domestic LLC filing fee
New Mexico domestic LLC Articles of Organization cost $50.00. The filing requires a compliant name, New Mexico registered agent and physical office, organizer, and management information. New Mexico generally does not require an annual LLC report, but tax and registered-agent obligations continue.
Domestic corporation filing fee
New Mexico domestic corporation Articles of Incorporation use the Secretary's current fee schedule; the accessible 2026 materials did not display one complete corporation total. Authorized shares, incorporator, registered agent and office, and statutory purpose/designator information are required.
Registering a company formed elsewhere
For state registration, “foreign” can mean a company formed in another U.S. state. These fees are separate from creating a new New Mexico entity.
Foreign LLC qualification
A foreign LLC files the New Mexico foreign registration/authority form and provides home-jurisdiction existence evidence, New Mexico registered agent and office, and the name used in the state. The current fee is transaction-specific in the online portal and should be confirmed before payment.
Foreign corporation qualification
A foreign corporation files authority registration with a home-state certificate, New Mexico registered agent and office, authorized shares, and a compliant name. The accessible 2026 official extract did not show one complete foreign-corporation fee.
New Mexico processing times
Online New Mexico submissions provide electronic receipt and status access. The Secretary does not promise one universal approval time; complete online filings are normally faster than paper, but name and statutory review can delay acceptance.
Expedited filing options
The reviewed New Mexico official materials did not establish a universal same-day or 24-hour formation tier. Use the current online portal for any available expedited service and exact charge; ordinary electronic filing is the normal faster route.
