Maximum privacy. Minimum cost. New Mexico is the only state that offers anonymous LLCs, no annual reports, and a $50 filing fee — all in one package.
No other state offers all three of these advantages.
Member and manager names are not required on public filings. Your identity stays private — it won't appear in the state's searchable database.
New Mexico does not require annual reports or franchise tax for LLCs. Once formed, there are zero ongoing state filings. Set it and forget it.
$50 state filing fee — the lowest in the country. No annual fees, no franchise tax, no ongoing state costs. Total formation cost: $149 (our fee + state fee).
NM LLCs are ideal for privacy-conscious business owners.

New Mexico does not require LLC members or managers to be listed on the Articles of Organization or any public filing. Only the organizer's name appears on the formation document — and the organizer can be your registered agent (us), not you personally. Your name never appears in the state's public database.
Correct. New Mexico does not require annual reports, biennial reports, or any ongoing state filings for LLCs. There is no franchise tax either. Once your LLC is formed, it remains in good standing indefinitely with no further state paperwork or fees.
Absolutely. You don't need to live in, work in, or ever visit New Mexico. Your registered agent provides the required in-state physical address at our Albuquerque office: 1209 Mountain Road Pl NE, Suite R, Albuquerque, NM 87110. Many real estate investors, e-commerce operators, and privacy-conscious entrepreneurs from across the US form NM LLCs specifically for the privacy benefits.
New Mexico processes LLC formations in 1-3 business days. All filings are done online (paper filings are no longer accepted). We submit your Articles of Organization the same day you order.
Yes. While New Mexico has no state-level annual reports or franchise tax for LLCs, your federal tax obligations remain. The IRS taxes LLCs based on their elected classification (sole proprietorship, partnership, or S-corp). You'll file federal taxes regardless of which state your LLC is formed in.
Yes, but you may need to foreign qualify in states where you have a physical presence or significant business activity. For example, if you form in NM but operate in California, you'd register as a foreign LLC in California. We offer foreign qualification services for $149 + state fee.
New Mexico requires a registered agent to sign a Statement of Acceptance as part of the LLC formation. This document confirms that we agree to serve as your registered agent and accept service of process on your behalf. We handle this automatically — it's included in your formation.
Yes. New Mexico does not require any member or manager names on the Articles of Organization, regardless of how many members the LLC has. All members remain private. The only name that appears publicly is the organizer — which can be your registered agent (us).
New Mexico doesn't legally require an operating agreement, but we strongly recommend one. An operating agreement defines ownership percentages, member responsibilities, profit distribution, and what happens if a member leaves. Banks often require one to open a business account. Our Professional package includes an operating agreement template.
You file Articles of Dissolution with the New Mexico Secretary of State. The filing fee is $0 (free). Since NM has no annual reports or ongoing fees, you can also simply let the LLC exist — there's no penalty for keeping an inactive NM LLC on file.
$149 total — anonymous formation, registered agent, and state fee. No ongoing costs.
