The cheapest US anonymous LLC. $50 filing fee. No annual report. No annual fee. Banking realities and who should use NM.

The short answer: A New Mexico anonymous LLC costs $347 total - a $297 service fee plus the $50 state filing fee - and nothing per year after that. New Mexico is the cheapest anonymous LLC state because it requires no annual report and no franchise tax, so year two onward costs only the registered agent renewal. The Articles of Organization do not list members or managers, keeping ownership off the public record.
New Mexico charges only $50 to file Articles of Organization and requires no annual report (NM Statutes § 53-19-65). No annual fee, no franchise tax. Wyoming charges $100 filing plus $60/year. Delaware charges $110 filing plus $300/year franchise tax.
$347 total for year one: a $297 service fee plus the $50 state filing fee. That covers the filing, registered agent for year one, the operating agreement, the EIN, and 4-5 US bank applications. New Mexico requires no annual report, so there is no recurring state fee at all.
Yes. Its $50 filing fee is the lowest of the four anonymous states, and it is the only one with no annual report and no franchise tax. Over five years a New Mexico LLC totals roughly $507 against about $797 for Wyoming, $1,767 for Delaware, and $2,282 for Nevada.
No. New Mexico is the only anonymous LLC state with no annual report and no franchise tax for LLCs. You keep a registered agent on file, and that is the only ongoing state-facing obligation.
Banking. Fintech banks see far fewer New Mexico LLCs than Wyoming ones and reject them at a higher rate, which is why every formation goes out to 4-5 banks at once. New Mexico also does not make the charging order the exclusive remedy the way Wyoming does, so it is the cost choice rather than the asset-protection choice.
$347 total ($297 + $50 state). No annual report. No annual fee.
