Publication Requirement
The state of New York has more intricate publishing requirements than other states; however, it is also the state in which we have the most experience. Under threat of suspension, all limited liability companies (LLCs and PLLCs), limited partnerships (LPs), and limited liability partnerships (LLPs) must publish a legal notice with the requested information within 120 days of formation. These requirements apply to both domestic (in-state) and foreign (out-of-state) companies.
The notices must be published for six consecutive weeks in two newspapers: one newspaper with a daily run, and one with a weekly run. Both newspapers must be in the county of the business. Additionally, in order to complete the requirement, affidavits of publication from both newspapers must be filed with the Department of Corporations.

The New York LLC Law and Partnership Law include provisions regarding the publication required upon the formation or authorization of domestic and foreign limited liability companies, limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships. The most common of these entities is the New York LLC.
Publishing must be done once a week for six successive weeks in two newspapers in the county in which the office of the New York LLC is located. One newspaper must be “printed daily” and the other “printed weekly.” The newspapers must be specifically designated by the county clerk.
After we finish publishing the New York LLC legal notice, the publisher of each newspaper will provide us with an Affidavit of Publication that attests to the fact that the publishing was done. EZ Legal Publishing will then file a Certificate of Publication with New York State, with the Affidavits of Publication included. New York State has a $50 filing fee for the Certificate of Publication (always included in our low flat fee publishing price).
New York LLC’s that are formed or authorized to do business in New York, which fail to comply with the publication requirements within 120 days after their formation or qualification will have their authority to carry on, conduct or transact any business suspended.
There are numerous rules and regulations which must be followed exactly. Some publishing services don’t follow the law and use the wrong information and newspapers for publishing. A New York LLC must publish correctly. Any missteps, errors, or typos may force you to re-publish your LLC notices from the beginning, and pay the newspapers again.
