Nevada Corporation Foreign Registration in Missouri

Missouri registers a corporation from Nevada as a foreign corporation on Form Corp 42, with $155 in state fees. Missouri also asks for Nevada's Certificate of Existence ($50), no older than 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporations Division from your Nevada records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Nevada companies register with Missouri

Order the Nevada certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($50) is ordered from Nevada separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. Missouri counts 60 days from the day Nevada issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form Corp 42
It lists us as your Missouri registered agent, next to your Nevada name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Nevada certificate comes first; then the Missouri filing goes in. Once Missouri approves it, the Nevada company can do business there.

Common questions: Nevada to Missouri

Does my Nevada company need to register in Missouri?

Yes, once a Nevada business operates there; Missouri law lists 8 activities that do not count on their own.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Missouri issues one to Nevada corporations once the form is approved.

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

$354 at checkout plus $50 to Nevada for the Certificate of Existence, $404 in all (checkout is $155 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Nevada's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Missouri wants Nevada's Certificate of Existence ($50), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Nevada and Missouri?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nevada's report (fee set by the state) and Missouri's report ($15, every two years).

What if I don't register with Missouri?

A Nevada company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Missouri can add a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Missouri require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Missouri corporation instead?

Yes, but Nevada keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Missouri's Corporate Registration Report ($15), and the original keeps Nevada's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from Missouri later?

Nevada companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Missouri's report stays due alongside Nevada's filings.
