New Hampshire Corporation Foreign Registration in Nevada

Nevada registers a corporation from New Hampshire as a foreign corporation on an online registration (no form number), with $425 in state fees.

How New Hampshire companies register with Nevada

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

Your New Hampshire name and Nevada's rules

Nevada can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Agents: Nevada and New Hampshire

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

Staying in good standing in New Hampshire and Nevada

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

LLC or corporation, New Hampshire to Nevada

An LLC formed in New Hampshire files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come New Hampshire's Annual Report ($102) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Nevada into New Hampshire

A corporation formed in Nevada that registers with New Hampshire files Form 40 with $102 in state fees. See that filing.

Questions New Hampshire owners ask about Nevada

Does my New Hampshire company need to register in Nevada?

Is this a certificate of authority?

Nevada calls it qualification for New Hampshire corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

$624 at checkout; Nevada may also want New Hampshire's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

How long does the Nevada registration take?

Nevada says most online filings are processed the same day at no extra charge, plus time for New Hampshire's certificate if Nevada asks for it. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

What are the yearly costs for New Hampshire and Nevada?

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

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada corporation instead?

Yes, but New Hampshire keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent, and the original keeps New Hampshire's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

New Hampshire companies leave by filing a Certificate of Dissolution/Withdrawal; until then, Nevada's report stays due alongside New Hampshire's filings.
