How to form a US LLC from Mexico, without leaving home
Last verified: 3 min read
You can form a US LLC from Mexico entirely online, in about two minutes, with no visa, no SSN and no ID documents. EXNNA forms it in New Mexico (NM), a U.S. state, for $200 with State fees and 12 months of registered agent included. Everything happens online, in your dashboard.
Why do Mexican founders form a US LLC?
To work with U.S. clients and platforms as a U.S. company:
- Billing in dollars. U.S. clients pay a U.S. business, often by ACH or card.
- U.S. payment accounts. A US LLC from Mexico can apply for U.S. accounts at Stripe and other providers. Stripe also works in Mexico itself; the U.S. account is for selling as a U.S. company.
- Contracts. Clients and suppliers sign with the company, and the company's obligations stay with it, within the limits of the law.
Taxes depend on where you live and what the LLC does, not on the State where it is formed.
What do you need to form a US LLC from Mexico?
Four things: a company name, two backup names, the number of members and an email. Members' details are optional and New Mexico's Articles of Organization, the filing that creates the company, don't list owners. The public record shows EXNNA and our registered agent, not you.
How do you pay from Mexico?
By card, online, in U.S. dollars or in your local currency where available. The total is $200 with State fees included; EIN assistance is +$50 with the formation. Every option is on our pricing.
What comes after the LLC is formed?
| Step | What it is |
|---|---|
| EIN | The LLC's tax number with the IRS; no SSN needed |
| Bank account | A U.S. business account in the LLC's name |
| Payment provider | Stripe or others, applying as a U.S. company |
The EIN step is in how to get an EIN without an SSN. For the account, compare Mercury vs Wise for a U.S. LLC, then apply to payments with a Stripe account for non-residents. Each provider runs its own checks and decides.
How is it different from Argentina or other countries?
The formation is the same everywhere. What changes is local: Stripe is available in Mexico but not in Argentina, so Argentine founders lean more on the U.S. company for payments. See forming a US LLC from Argentina.
