Frequently Asked Questions

What is a registered agent?

A registered agent is the person or entity designated to accept legal documents, service of process, and official correspondence on behalf of your New Mexico business. They must maintain a physical address in the state and be available from 9 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday.

Does New Mexico require annual reports?

No. New Mexico does not have an annual report requirement for LLCs or corporations. There is also no franchise tax. Your registered agent is your primary ongoing compliance obligation.

Can my business be its own registered agent?

No. New Mexico does not allow a business entity to serve as its own registered agent. You must designate an individual (NM resident, 18+) or an authorized service.

Can I serve as my own agent?

Yes, if you are a New Mexico resident aged 18 or older with a physical street address available from 9 AM to 5 PM every weekday. The tradeoff: your home address goes on the public record.

How much does your service cost?

$99 per year. Everything included — address, scanning, forwarding, portal, privacy. No setup fee or per-document charges.

What is the fee to change my registered agent?

The state fee varies by entity type: $20 for LLCs, $25 for corporations, $10 for nonprofits. This is paid to the New Mexico Secretary of State, not to us.

What changed in December 2024?

New Mexico made online filing mandatory. Paper submissions are no longer accepted. This applies to all business filings, including registered agent changes.

How fast do you forward documents?

Same business day. We scan everything the day it arrives and deliver it via email and your online portal.

Why is New Mexico considered so business-friendly?

No annual reports, no franchise tax, $50 LLC formation fee, fast processing (1-3 days), and now streamlined mandatory online filing. Your only ongoing state requirement is keeping a registered agent on file.

Is there a long-term contract?

No. Service runs year to year. Cancel before renewal and appoint a new agent with the state. No penalties.
