Minnesota Corporation Foreign Registration in Nevada

Nevada registers a corporation from Minnesota as a foreign corporation on an online registration (no form number), with $425 in state fees.

How Minnesota companies register with Nevada

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

Will your Minnesota name work for Nevada?

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

Agents: Nevada and Minnesota

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

Staying in good standing in Minnesota and Nevada

Minnesota wants the Annual Renewal every year (no fee); Nevada wants the Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent every year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Minnesota to Nevada

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

The other way: Nevada into Minnesota

A corporation formed in Nevada that registers with Minnesota files Minnesota's registration (no form number) with $220 in state fees. See that filing.

Can I form a new Nevada corporation instead?
