How registration works in Nevada

  1. Section 1

    Decide if the LLC must register

    Nevada requires an out-of-state LLC to register first if it will do business here.

    Reference: bizhub.nv.gov, as published October 2026

  2. Section 2

    Select the Nevada registered agent

    Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address. The address has to be a street address in Nevada. A P.O. box alone is not enough.

    The recommended services each fill this role.

    Reference: leg.state.nv.us, as published October 2026

  3. Section 3

    Your paperwork here is the Application for registration as a foreign limited-liability company

    the Nevada Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division is the office that receives the filing and $75.

    Reference: bizhub.nv.gov, as published October 2026

  4. Section 4

    Prepare for the recurring filing

    Item for the calendar: the Annual list and State Business License renewal, fee $350, timing end of the anniversary month.
