How long does the Nevada registration take?

What are the yearly costs for Delaware and Nevada?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Delaware's report ($50) and Nevada's report (fee set by the state).

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

Yes: the Delaware registered agent stays, and ours covers Nevada for year one.

Can I form a new Nevada corporation instead?

Yes, but Delaware keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent, and the original keeps Delaware's Annual Franchise Tax Report.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

Delaware companies leave by filing a Certificate of Dissolution/Withdrawal; until then, Nevada's report stays due alongside Delaware's filings.
