How reinstatement works in New Hampshire

  1. Catch up on filings

    New Hampshire's application for reinstatement must state that the grounds for the dissolution either did not exist or have been eliminated. 1

  2. Tax clearance

    New Hampshire requires a certificate from the Department of Revenue Administration only when the Secretary of State receives the application more than 120 days after the notice of administrative dissolution is mailed. 1

  3. File the application

    New Hampshire's Secretary of State mails the LLC an application for reinstatement along with the notice of administrative dissolution. 3

  4. Pay the state fee

  5. Check the name

    For 120 days after mailing the notice of administrative dissolution, New Hampshire's Secretary of State does not let anyone else take a name that is the same as or similar to the LLC's, unless the LLC consents in writing. 3
