From Georgia to Nevada, step by step

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

Will your Georgia name work for Nevada?

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

Your Nevada agent and the Georgia one

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

Staying in good standing in Georgia and Nevada

Georgia wants the Annual Registration every year ($60); Nevada wants the Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent every year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Georgia to Nevada

An LLC formed in Georgia files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Georgia's Annual Registration ($60) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). See the LLC filing.

Questions Georgia owners ask about Nevada

Does my Georgia company need to register in Nevada?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

$624 at checkout; Nevada may also want Georgia's Certificate of Existence, 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 Georgia's certificate if Nevada asks for it. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

What are the yearly costs for Georgia and Nevada?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Georgia's report ($60) and Nevada's report (fee set by the state).

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada corporation instead?

Yes, but Georgia 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 Georgia's Annual Registration.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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