A New Mexico LLC: no owner names filed, and nothing owed to the state each year

New Mexico asks for $50 once. After that there's no yearly report and no state fee, and today's law doesn't ask who owns or manages the company. We sign as organizer, so your name stays off the filing. $99 to start, $69 a year, run from anywhere.

Filed online in Santa Fe for you. No visit, no SSN.

01What each state asks

New Mexico LLC vs Wyoming and the other states, year after year

Every state charges to form. What differs is what it wants back each year, and whose names it keeps. We form in all five. Compare.

02The public record

What a New Mexico LLC filing shows, field by field

The articles are the only paper New Mexico keeps. Owner and manager names are optional, and we leave them blank. One line is still public: the business address. Choose whose it is.

03The tax picture

New Mexico LLC tax for non-residents

New Mexico taxes sales and work that happen in New Mexico. A company formed there and run from abroad usually owes it nothing. Four switches show when that changes.

      New Mexico LLC cost for a founder abroad

      The state fee is $50 once. The real yearly cost anywhere is the agent, so ours is the whole renewal, with nothing to add for the state.

      Questions

      New Mexico LLC questions, answered

      Comparing US states? Start with the US LLC guide, where New Mexico sits next to the other four on cost and privacy, or go straight to our Wyoming, Nevada, Florida and Delaware LLC pages.

      Can a non-US resident form a New Mexico LLC?
      Yes, from anywhere and of any nationality, without a visit. Filing is online only, and the LLC needs a registered agent in New Mexico, which we provide.
      Is a New Mexico LLC anonymous?
      Close, on today's law. The filing needs no owner or manager names and we sign as organizer, but the business address is public, and the IRS and your bank know who owns it. Our New Mexico business search guide shows the public record field by field.
      Does a New Mexico LLC file an annual report?
      No. New Mexico's LLC law has no yearly or two-yearly report and no yearly state fee. Pages that mention a triennial report have it wrong.
      How much does a New Mexico LLC cost per year?
      Nothing to the state. The yearly cost is the registered agent: $69 with us. Form 5472, if you own it alone from abroad, is $179 more.
      Do I pay New Mexico gross receipts tax?
      Not if you sell from abroad with under $100,000 a year of New Mexico sales and do no work there. Pass that, or work in the state, and you register for a tax ID and file. The nexus test, partner withholding and the franchise tax trap are in our New Mexico LLC tax guide.
      Can I get an EIN with no SSN?
      Yes. The IRS online form won't take a business based abroad, so we fax Form SS-4 for you. It costs nothing at the IRS and needs no ITIN.
      Is New Mexico better than Wyoming?
      For the lowest yearly cost and the fewest filings, yes: no report and no fee. Wyoming has a $60 yearly tax and a report, but a longer record with banks and lawyers.
      Does New Mexico protect my share from creditors?
      A creditor can get a charging order on your share, but New Mexico's law doesn't call it the only remedy. If that protection is the reason you're forming, Nevada spells it out.
      Does a New Mexico LLC file a BOI report with FinCEN?
      No. FinCEN's final rule of August 2026 exempts every company formed in the US. An older page on the state's own website still says otherwise.
      Will a US bank accept a New Mexico LLC owned from abroad?
      Yes. US fintech banks accept it and ask for your real business address, not the agent's. We complete the application with you, and it almost always goes through. With the account open, Stripe follows; see how that works from Pakistan or from Nigeria.
