Forming in New Mexico with a service
Services file the paperwork, act as your registered agent and, on some plans, get your EIN. Their fee comes on top of the state's.
| Service | Service fee | First year with New Mexico fees | Each later year | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northwest Registered Agent (Basic) | $49 | $99 | $125 | Visit site |
| doola (Starter) | $297 | $347 | $297 | Visit site |
Later years include the service's registered agent (Northwest renews at its listed price; doola's plan renews each year) plus New Mexico's recurring fee. You can act as your own registered agent if you have a street address in New Mexico.
Founders who can form anywhere often choose Delaware or Wyoming through services such as Stripe Atlas, Clerky or Firstbase; compare them in the company formation ranking.
Compared with neighbouring states
An LLC formed in another state that does business in New Mexico usually has to register in New Mexico as a foreign LLC too, paying fees in both states. A cheaper neighbouring state rarely saves money if you operate here.

Customer data and New Mexico privacy law
New Mexico has no comprehensive consumer privacy law yet, but customers from other states and countries bring their own laws with them: if you sell to Californians or Europeans, their rules apply to their data.
