NM registered agent
New Mexico. $7 a year. Shallow end.
The rule is at the bottom of this page. We start with the bill, because that is the part that gets wet first. Every New Mexico company names an agent with a real address in the state. We have the address. We keep a bowl at it.
The bill to climb back out
incFACTS has not verified a New Mexico reinstatement fee yet. We waded in without checking.
The summons, and where it goes instead
New Mexico keeps its fallback service rule somewhere deeper than we go.
How New Mexico drains a company like yours
