New Mexico does not require member or manager names in its own public LLC filing. New Mexico's own filing is already anonymous; a Wyoming parent here is mainly about closing New Mexico's charging-order gap rather than adding privacy that New Mexico doesn't already provide. See our Wyoming holding company guide and full list of anonymous LLC states for more.

Charging order remedy (not codified as exclusive)
New Mexico is one of the handful of states that never asks for member or manager names on its Articles of Organization, and it pairs that with the lowest ongoing paperwork of any privacy-capable state — a triennial report once every three years rather than an annual filing. At $50 to form, it's often the cheapest way to get a genuinely anonymous LLC on the record. What New Mexico doesn't offer is Wyoming's exclusive-remedy charging order statute, which is why owners who want both privacy and the strongest possible creditor shield typically pair a New Mexico operating LLC with a Wyoming holding company, or use a Wyoming LLC as the New Mexico entity's member.
New Mexico's Articles of Organization ask for the LLC name, the registered agent, and whether the LLC is member-managed or manager-managed — but never for the actual member or manager names. Those never enter the public portal.sos.nm.gov record. The organizer who signs the filing is the one name that is public, which is why a formation service or attorney typically organizes the LLC instead of the owner.
Because New Mexico already keeps member and manager names off its own public filing, pairing a New Mexico LLC with a Wyoming holding company parent doesn't change what the New Mexico Secretary of State discloses — it's already nothing. What a Wyoming parent adds here is asset-protection strength New Mexico's own statute doesn't provide: New Mexico's charging-order statute (NMSA 1978 § 53-19-35) is not codified as an exclusive remedy the way Wyoming's is, so owners who want New Mexico's low cost and no-annual-report simplicity but Wyoming-grade creditor protection commonly form the New Mexico LLC as a subsidiary of a Wyoming holding LLC, or use a Wyoming LLC as the New Mexico entity's member so both layers stay private and the stronger statute governs the parent interest.
State-level anonymity does not extend to federal reporting. The New Mexico LLC's beneficial owners must still be reported to FinCEN under the Corporate Transparency Act regardless of whether a Wyoming holding LLC sits above it, and that federal database is not public.
NMSA 1978 § 53-19-35 — charging order remedy, not codified as exclusive. New Mexico's LLC Act does not state that the charging order is a creditor's exclusive remedy and does not authorize foreclosure — but it also doesn't rule it out the way Wyoming's statute does. Owners prioritizing the strongest possible creditor shield often place the holding layer in Wyoming instead of, or in addition to, New Mexico.
New Mexico requires no annual report. Since HB0281 (effective July 1, 2024), LLCs file a triennial report once every three years, with a $20 fee and a $200 penalty for late filing. There is no New Mexico franchise tax on LLCs.
Note: New Mexico's triennial report requirement is relatively new (effective July 1, 2024 under HB0281) — confirm the current filing window and fee directly with the New Mexico Secretary of State before relying on the cadence, since a state that only recently moved off the old annual-report system is more likely to see procedural updates.
No. New Mexico's Articles of Organization ask for the LLC name, registered agent, and management structure, but never for member or manager names — those never become part of the public portal.sos.nm.gov record. Only the organizer's name is public, which is why using a formation service as organizer keeps your name off the filing entirely.
Mainly for asset protection, not privacy. New Mexico's charging-order statute (NMSA 1978 § 53-19-35) does not declare the charging order a creditor's exclusive remedy the way Wyoming's does. A Wyoming holding LLC as the parent or member gives you Wyoming's stronger statute on top of New Mexico's low cost and no-annual-report simplicity.
Once every three years. New Mexico's Revised Uniform LLC Act (HB0281, effective July 1, 2024) replaced the annual report with a triennial report — a $20 fee, once every three years, with a $200 penalty for filing late.
Bottom line: New Mexico's own filing already keeps names private — a Wyoming holding company adds asset-protection strength New Mexico's charging-order statute doesn't provide on its own.
