How Nevada companies register with Connecticut

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

Your Nevada name and Connecticut's rules

We check your exact Nevada name against Connecticut's records before filing.

Agents: Connecticut and Nevada

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

Yearly filings: Connecticut and Nevada

Nevada wants the Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent every year; Connecticut wants the Annual Report every year ($435). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Nevada to Connecticut

An LLC formed in Nevada files its own registration with Connecticut ($120 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50)). After that come Nevada's periodic report ($350) and Connecticut's Annual Report ($80). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Connecticut into Nevada

A corporation formed in Connecticut that registers with Nevada files Nevada's registration (no form number) with $425 in state fees. See that filing.
