NM registered agent
New Mexico. $17 a year. Straight from the bowl.
New Mexico makes every company it registers name a registered agent at a street address inside its borders. We start with what the state does when that agent is us, then work back up to what it asked for in the first place.

The New Mexico annual report, which can also be left to settle
New Mexico charges a yearly amount to keep a company on its books. Here it is. Leaving it unpaid saves the whole amount, in exactly the way the rest of this site saves you money.
Yearly report fee for an LLC
New Mexico charges no annual report fee, per the guidance quoted below. Nothing to leave unpaid. The bowl is empty on this one.
