From Florida to Nevada, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Nevada registered agent, next to your Florida name and formation date. If Nevada wants the Florida certificate, it is ordered first. Once Nevada approves it, the Florida company can do business there.

Will your Florida name work for Nevada?

Nevada can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Agents: Nevada and Florida

Florida and Nevada both call it a registered agent. Nevada papers come to us; Florida's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Florida and Nevada

Florida wants the Annual Report every year ($150); Nevada wants the Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent every year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Florida to Nevada

An LLC formed in Florida files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Florida's Annual Report ($138.75) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Nevada into Florida

A corporation formed in Nevada that registers with Florida files Form CR2E007 with $70 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Florida to Nevada

Does my Florida company need to register in Nevada?

Yes, once a Florida business operates there; Nevada registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Nevada calls it qualification for Florida corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does it cost to register a Florida corporation in Nevada?

$624 at checkout; Nevada may also want Florida's Certificate of Status, at extra cost.

How long does the Nevada registration take?

Nevada says most online filings are processed the same day at no extra charge, plus time for Florida's certificate if Nevada asks for it. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

What are the yearly costs for Florida and Nevada?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Florida's report ($150) and Nevada's report (fee set by the state).

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada corporation instead?

Yes, but Florida 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 Florida's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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