New York Foreign LLC Registration
To Avoid Legal Penalties

Did you form an LLC in a state other than New York? Depending on the activities of your LLC, you may be required to file for a New York Foreign LLC registration, also known as a ‘certificate of authority or ‘foreign qualification’ to transact business within the state. If you don’t, you cannot file lawsuits in New York, and the state might impose fines for doing business without registering your LLC.

LLC鈥檚 that need to apply for a New York Foreign LLC Registration

If you formed your LLC in another state, your LLC is domestic to that state, and a Foreign LLC in every other state鈥攊ncluding New York.

New York might even prevent you from continuing to do business in the state.
