If you want to form an LLC in New Mexico, there are certain forms, requirements and legalities you need to get in place. Below you will find a rundown of what you’ll need to do, together with details on each form required for your New Mexico LLC.
Some of these forms you only need to submit once, while others must be filed on a regular basis. You will need to set reminders in your calendar to file forms regularly if you're filing yourself. At Incfile, we provide an optional, paid renewal service that can take care of renewals for you when you instruct us to do so.
The formal document you file to start the process of creating your business is known as the Articles of Organization.

The Articles of Organization typically includes the following information:
Here at Incfile, we automatically create and file your Articles of Organization on your behalf when you start your business with us. You only need to file your certificate once. There is a fee levied by the Secretary of State of New Mexico to cover your filing.
