How Nevada companies register with New Hampshire

We prepare and file Form 40
It names us as your New Hampshire registered agent, with your Nevada name and formation date. If New Hampshire wants the Nevada certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Nevada corporation is registered with New Hampshire.

Your Nevada name and New Hampshire's rules

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

Your New Hampshire agent and the Nevada one

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

Staying in good standing in Nevada and New Hampshire

Nevada wants the Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent every year; New Hampshire wants the Annual Report every year ($100). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Nevada to New Hampshire

An LLC formed in Nevada files Form FLLC-1 with New Hampshire ($102 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Nevada's periodic report ($350) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). See the LLC filing.

The other way: New Hampshire into Nevada

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

Common questions: Nevada to New Hampshire

Does my Nevada company need to register in New Hampshire?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$301 at checkout; New Hampshire may also want Nevada's Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Nevada and New Hampshire?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nevada's report (fee set by the state) and New Hampshire's report ($100).

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

A Nevada company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire corporation instead?

Yes, but Nevada keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100), and the original keeps Nevada's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Nevada companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal of a For-Profit Foreign Corporation; until then, New Hampshire's report stays due alongside Nevada's filings.
