How to File

Understand New Mexico's No Annual Report Policy
New Mexico is one of the few states that doesn't require LLCs to file annual reports with the Secretary of State. This means no annual paperwork and no annual fees to the state.
2
Maintain Your Registered Agent
While no annual report is required, you must keep a registered agent with a New Mexico address at all times. Update the Secretary of State if your registered agent changes.
3
Keep Internal Records Current
Maintain accurate LLC records including member information, operating agreements, and financial records. These aren't filed with the state but are essential for legal compliance.
4
File Required Tax Returns
Even without annual reports, your LLC must file appropriate federal and state tax returns. This includes Form 1065 for multi-member LLCs or Schedule C for single-member LLCs.
5
Monitor for Law Changes
Stay informed about New Mexico LLC laws through the Secretary of State website. While annual reports aren't currently required, regulations can change over time.
