FAQ
Where can I find all current New Hampshire Secretary of State business forms?
The New Hampshire Secretary of State organizes current business-entity filings on its Forms and Fees pages. Those pages branch to separate form-and-fee pages for limited liability companies, corporations, nonprofit corporations, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, and foundations.
Online filing is handled through New Hampshire QuickStart. The category pages themselves function as the current fee schedules for the listed filings.
Is the registered agent consent form required to be filed with the New Hampshire Secretary of State?
New Hampshire does not publish a separate statewide registered-agent consent form on its current business-entity forms pages.
Consent is documented inside the formation, foreign registration, or change filing that names the registered agent and gives the New Hampshire registered office, including filings such as Form LLC-1 Certificate of Formation, Form 11 Articles of Incorporation, Form FLP-1 Application for Registration of Foreign Limited Partnership, and Form 10 Statement of Change of Registered Office or Registered Agent, or Both.
What form is used to change a registered agent in New Hampshire?
For corporations, LLCs, LLPs, and foundations, the published change form is Form 10 Statement of Change of Registered Office or Registered Agent, or Both. The filing fee is $15.
For domestic and foreign limited partnerships, the Secretary of State lists change-of-agent filings without a standardized state-issued form. Those filings are submitted through QuickStart or by paper filing using the same filing methods described above, and the listed fee is $35.
What is the difference between the entity-filed change form and the agent-filed change form in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire uses the same published document, Form 10 Statement of Change of Registered Office or Registered Agent, or Both, for both roles in the entity types covered by that form.
When the business files the form, it changes its own registered agent, registered office, or both. When the registered agent files the form, the form states that the listed business must first be notified in writing of the change in registered office.
New Hampshire does not publish a separate multi-entity agent-filed update form on its current business-entity forms pages. Limited partnerships are handled differently because the state lists their change-of-agent filings without a standardized state-issued form.
Is there a fee to form a nonprofit corporation in New Hampshire?
Yes. Form NP-1 Articles of Agreement carries a $25 filing fee.
That is lower than the $100 filing fee for a for-profit corporation on Form 11 Articles of Incorporation. The form pages also state that electronically received fees are charged an additional $2 handling charge.
What forms are used to register an out-of-state LLC in New Hampshire?
An out-of-state LLC registers with Form FLLC-1 Application for Registration as a Foreign Limited Liability Company, and the filing fee is $100.
An out-of-state professional LLC registers with Form FPLLC-1 Application for Registration as a Foreign Professional Limited Liability Company, and the filing fee is also $100.
Each filing requires a New Hampshire registered agent and registered office. The current LLC forms page does not list a separate quantified late-registration penalty for filing after business activity begins.
What forms are used to form or register a partnership in New Hampshire?
A domestic limited partnership is formed with Form LP-1 N.H. Limited Partnership Application, and a foreign limited partnership registers with Form FLP-1 Application for Registration of Foreign Limited Partnership. Each filing fee is $100, and each filing requires a New Hampshire registered agent and registered office.
A domestic LLP files Form LLP-1 Registration of New Hampshire Limited Liability Partnership, and a foreign LLP files Form FLLP-1 Notice of Registration as a Foreign Registered Limited Liability Partnership. Each filing fee is $100, and an LLP filing registers limited-liability status for the partnership rather than creating a corporation or LLC.
The current New Hampshire forms pages do not publish a separate LLLP form set. The current business-entity forms pages also do not publish a general partnership statement-of-authority form.
Can I file New Hampshire SOS forms online?
Yes. The Secretary of State accepts online business filings through New Hampshire QuickStart.
The system supports new-business filings, managed business filings, and annual report filing through the QuickStart pathways linked from the Secretary of State’s forms pages. The forms pages state that electronically received fees are charged an additional $2 handling charge.
The current business-entity forms pages do not list a separate expedited processing fee schedule.
