Who we recommend in New Hampshire
We ordered the list with five criteria, and three-year fees and coverage count most (the
method page covers the rest).
Our top choice
1. Mainstay Filing: best for a third or fourth state down the road
Their fee $199; later years $149
Mainstay Filing ranks first for you since you pay $199 on top of the state fee, your registered agent is free in year 1, and then it is $149 a year.
Plan on spending $100 more than at NH Registered Agent.org over three years, in exchange for fewer filings left for you to do.
After year 1 the agent is $149 a year wherever you register.
What your money gets you
- Prepares your registration and files it
- Your registered agent for the first year is free
- Serves all fifty states
What works
- $199 above the state fee
- The first agent year is paid for
- One price everywhere
What to weigh
- A higher agent renewal ($149)
One state
2. NH Registered Agent.org: best for a low-cost New Hampshire filing
Their fee $199; later years $99
Next comes NH Registered Agent.org, because $199 above the state fee gets you registered; after that it is $99 a year.
What your money gets you
- Takes care of the registration paperwork
- A year of agent service
What works
- Agent covered in year 1
- The agent renews at $99
- $199 and the state fee
What to weigh
- New Hampshire only; your home state needs its own agent
One state
3. New Hampshire Registered Agent.co: best for another option in New Hampshire
Their fee $199; later years $99
Last on the list is New Hampshire Registered Agent.co, because $199 above the state fee gets you registered; after that it is $99 a year.
On price it is exactly level with NH Registered Agent.org.
What your money gets you
- Takes care of the registration paperwork
- A year of agent service
What works
- Agent covered in year 1
- The agent renews at $99
- $199 and the state fee

How New Hampshire compares with the states near it in the ranking
New Hampshire foreign LLC registration in 2026
To get your out-of-state LLC registered, deliver the Application for Registration as a Foreign Limited Liability Company (Form FLLC-1) to the New Hampshire Secretary of State, Corporation Division with $100.
Each later cycle you file the annual report ($100), April 1.
Gather these first
- The exact legal name and formation date from your home state.
- Your own registered agent with a street address in the state, named on the form.
- Enough to cover the $100 official fee.
The consequences of staying unregistered
The state does not void your contracts (RSA 304-C:180, II(a)). You will also owe fees for the years you were not registered.
Why the first pick is first
Upkeep the price covers decided first place in New Hampshire. It is 26% of the score, and the other criteria are price over three years, renewal terms, fit with the state, plain statement of the state fee.
Reach across states was worth more than NH Registered Agent.org's smaller renewal.
