Nevada registers a corporation from Indiana as a foreign corporation on an online registration (no form number), with $425 in state fees. Nevada may ask for Indiana's Certificate of Existence ($15).

How Indiana companies register with Nevada

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

Will your Indiana name work for Nevada?

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

Agents: Nevada and Indiana

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

Yearly filings: Nevada and Indiana

Indiana wants the Business Entity Report every two years ($32); 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, Indiana to Nevada

An LLC formed in Indiana files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Indiana's Business Entity Report ($32) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). See the LLC filing.

Questions Indiana owners ask about Nevada

Does my Indiana company need to register in Nevada?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

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

What are the yearly costs for Indiana and Nevada?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Indiana's report ($32, every two years) and Nevada's report (fee set by the state).

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada corporation instead?

Yes, but Indiana 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 Indiana's Business Entity Report.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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