From Idaho to Nevada, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Nevada registered agent, next to your Idaho name and formation date. If Nevada wants the Idaho certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Idaho corporation is registered with Nevada.

Will your Idaho name work for Nevada?

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

Your Nevada agent and the Idaho one

Idaho and Nevada both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Idaho; ours takes Nevada's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Idaho and Nevada

Idaho wants the Annual Report every year (no fee); Nevada wants the Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent every year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Idaho to Nevada

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

The other way: Nevada into Idaho

A corporation formed in Nevada that registers with Idaho files Idaho's registration (no form number) with $103.50 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Idaho to Nevada

Does my Idaho company need to register in Nevada?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

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

What are the yearly costs for Idaho and Nevada?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Idaho's report (no fee) and Nevada's report (fee set by the state).

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada corporation instead?

Yes, but Idaho 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 Idaho's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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