$199 a year plus the state's fee, $249 due at checkout

Mainstay Filing leads the card: $199 covers the New Mexico formation plus a year as your registered agent, with the EIN application thrown in.

With no yearly LLC report in New Mexico, the renewal after year one mostly buys the registered agent, since the EIN application belonged to the first-year bundle.
