How Nevada companies register with New Jersey

Order the Nevada certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($50) is ordered from Nevada separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. New Jersey wants the Nevada certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your New Jersey registered agent, next to your Nevada name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once Nevada's certificate is in hand, New Jersey's filing goes in. After approval, your Nevada corporation is registered with New Jersey.

Will your Nevada name work for New Jersey?

Your New Jersey agent and the Nevada one

Nevada and New Jersey both call it a registered agent. New Jersey papers come to us; Nevada's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: New Jersey and Nevada

Nevada wants the Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent every year; New Jersey wants the Annual Report every year ($75). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Nevada to New Jersey

An LLC formed in Nevada files its own registration with New Jersey ($100 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50)). After that come Nevada's periodic report ($350) and New Jersey's Annual Report ($75). See the LLC filing.

The other way: New Jersey into Nevada

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