When you need to register
If your LLC was formed in another state but "transacts business" in New Jersey — an office, employees, or regular in-state operations — New Jersey generally requires you to register before you do business here. You file Certificate of Registration (Foreign LLC) with the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services (DORES), Department of the Treasury; see the official fee.
Your home state keeps charging its own fees too, so the true cost is both states added together.
