Our favorite is Mainstay Filing, because it's $199 beyond the state fee in any state, and the first registered agent year is included.

Year one as agent costs nothing; every later year is $149, in any state.

Over three years it costs $100 more than NH Registered Agent.org, and for us the extra things it handles are worth that.

What New Hampshire foreign registration services cost in 2026: year one, renewals and three years

ServiceFirst yearSecond yearThird yearThree-year totalAgent covered in year one
Mainstay Filing$199$149$149$497Free

We took each price from the company's own pages on November 12, 2026. On top of every row, New Hampshire charges a $100 registration fee, which isn't in these totals.

Why we ordered them this way

Here's how we scored it: three-year cost and filings in the price are worth 29% each, and renewal price, state fit and up-front totals split the other 42%. In New Hampshire, filings in the price made the difference.

Registering in a second state means working with two states, so one company at one price for both won the coverage score over NH Registered Agent.org.
