$385 flat fee. 6–8 weeks. No registered agent required.
Founded by Jasmine Kohli — Westchester County LLC publication specialist, processing 28+ publications through direct relationships with county-designated newspapers.
Place Your Order
You enter your LLC name on our order page. Our system searches the NY Department of State database to find your LLC, confirms the match, and you pay $385 through Stripe's secure checkout. That's it — no account creation, no multi-step process.
Order Confirmation & Verification
Within 24 hours, we personally review your order against official state records. We cross-check your LLC name, formation date, and registered address with the NY Department of State filing to ensure everything matches. You'll receive a confirmation email with your order details.
Newspaper Selection
We check the current list of newspapers designated by the Westchester County Clerk and select the daily and weekly papers for your publication. Because we work exclusively with Westchester County newspapers, we have direct relationships with the publications and can coordinate scheduling immediately. See our designated newspaper partners.
Legal Notice Creation
We prepare your legal notice of formation (or qualification) in compliance with NY LLC Law Section 206. The notice includes your LLC name, date of formation, county, and the information required by statute. Each notice is reviewed for compliance before submission to the newspapers.
Proof Review & Scheduling
Once the newspapers confirm your ad placement, we send you proofs showing exactly what will be published. The publication schedule is set — your notices will run for 6 consecutive weeks in both newspapers starting on the next available publication date.
6-Week Publication Run
Your notices run in both a daily and a weekly newspaper designated by the Westchester County Clerk for 6 consecutive weeks, exactly as required by Section 206. We monitor the publication schedule to ensure no interruptions or missed weeks.
Affidavit Collection
After the 6-week run completes, each newspaper provides a notarized affidavit of publication — an official document proving your notice ran for the required period. We collect both affidavits and verify they contain the correct information before proceeding.
Certificate of Publication Preparation
We prepare your Certificate of Publication application — the official form submitted to the NY Department of State. This includes attaching both notarized affidavits and ensuring all information matches your original Articles of Organization. The application is reviewed for accuracy before filing.
Filing with NY Department of State
We file your Certificate of Publication with the NY Department of State via programmatic fax filing, which is faster and more reliable than mailing paper documents. Most generic services mail their filings; fax filing gets your certificate processed sooner.
Verification & Delivery
When the Department of State processes your filing, we verify the returned Certificate of Publication matches your LLC information. You receive your official certificate — your LLC publication requirement is complete. We'll notify you by email with your certificate attached.
What Makes Our Process Different
Because we only serve Westchester County, we've built direct relationships with the designated newspapers and optimized every step of the process. This is why we deliver in 6–8 weeks while generic services often take 11 or more. We use programmatic fax filing instead of mailing paper — it's faster and more reliable. And because Jasmine personally reviews every order, errors are caught before they cause delays. Learn about our team.

Process Questions
How long does the entire process take?▾
The standard timeline is 6–8 weeks from order to Certificate of Publication. The publication itself runs for 6 consecutive weeks, and we typically start within a few days of your order. Affidavit collection and state filing add another 1-2 weeks. Our direct newspaper relationships in Westchester County keep this timeline tight.
What do I need to provide?▾
Just your LLC name. Our system matches it against the NY Department of State database to pull your LLC details automatically. You'll also need to provide your email address for order updates. Name and phone number are optional but helpful for communication.
How will I know what's happening with my order?▾
You'll receive email updates at each major step: order confirmation, publication proofs, publication completion, and certificate delivery. You can also check your order status anytime through our order tracking page.
What if there's a problem with my publication?▾
Because we personally review every order and monitor every publication run, problems are rare. If a newspaper misses a week or there's an issue with your affidavit, we handle the correction directly with the newspaper — you don't need to do anything. If for any reason we can't complete your publication, you get a full refund.
