1. NM Registered Agent.org: best for a New Mexico LLC that intends to stay put

$199 to form, then $99 a year for the agent, with the state fee extra

Score9.2out of 10

First place: NM Registered Agent.org. The formation charge is $199 over the state fee, then $99 annually for the agent.

An in-state street address serves as the registered office, and papers served on the company are scanned into your online account.

Three-year cost is where it gains on Mainstay Filing, and that criterion is weighted heavily.

In the price

  • New Mexico formation filed for you
  • Your registered agent for the first year

Why pick it

  • $199 to form the LLC, state fee on top
  • The first year as registered agent is free
  • Year-two agent charge: $99

Weak spots

  • The EIN application carries a separate fee ($99)
No.2
Best for a New Mexico-only company

2. New Mexico Registered Agent.co: best for a filing made only in New Mexico

$199 to form, then $99 a year for the agent, with the state fee extra

Score8.8out of 10

Second place: New Mexico Registered Agent.co. The formation charge is $199 over the state fee, then $99 annually for the agent.

An in-state street address serves as the registered office, and papers served on the company are scanned into your online account.

NM Registered Agent.org and New Mexico Registered Agent.co publish the same price and the same features, so either is a defensible choice.

In the price

  • New Mexico formation filed for you
  • Your registered agent for the first year

Why pick it

  • $199 to form the LLC, state fee on top
  • Year-two agent charge: $99
  • Includes your registered agent for the first year

Weak spots

  • The EIN application carries a separate fee ($99)
No.3
Best for growing companies

3. Mainstay Filing: best for every filing under one flat yearly charge

$199 a year plus the state fee ($249 due at checkout)

Score8.5out of 10

Third place: Mainstay Filing. $199 a year pays for the New Mexico filing and the registered agent and includes the EIN application, with renewal at $199.

New Mexico does not require a yearly LLC report, so the renewal after year one pays for the registered agent and nothing else (the first year also covered the EIN application).

NM Registered Agent.org costs $200 less over three years, and Mainstay Filing trails it on that criterion.

In the price

  • Preparation and filing of the formation document
  • Your registered agent all year long
  • EIN application prepared

Why pick it

  • New Mexico's fee is passed along at cost
  • Renews at $199 with nothing added
  • One yearly charge of $199
  • Covers the EIN application

Weak spots

  • Its agent charge after year one is $100 a year above NM Registered Agent.org's
  • New Mexico has no yearly report, so the bundle delivers less

Why NM Registered Agent.org is placed first

Two criteria carry 31% each in this ranking, charge over three years and work taken off the founder. Renewal conduct, fit with local rules and pricing in plain sight share 38%, and in New Mexico the decisive one was charge over three years.

Over three years NM Registered Agent.org totals $397, $200 less than Mainstay Filing. New Mexico has no yearly LLC report, so the bundle adds less, and the lower renewal carried the ruling.
