From Nevada to Idaho, step by step

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

Your Nevada name and Idaho's rules

If Idaho's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Nevada company. We check your exact Nevada name against Idaho's records before filing.

Your Idaho agent and the Nevada one

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

Staying in good standing in Nevada and Idaho

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

LLC or corporation, Nevada to Idaho

An LLC formed in Nevada files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50)). After that come Nevada's periodic report ($350) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Idaho into Nevada

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

Questions Nevada owners ask about Idaho

Does my Nevada company need to register in Idaho?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register a Nevada corporation in Idaho?

$302.50 at checkout; Idaho may also want Nevada's Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, plus time for Nevada's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Nevada and Idaho?

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

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

Yes: the Nevada registered agent stays, and ours covers Idaho for year one, with a street address there.

Will Idaho accept my Nevada name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Nevada name at home.

Can I form a new Idaho corporation instead?

Yes, but Nevada keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Nevada's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Nevada companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement; until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Nevada's filings.
