Agents: Nevada and New Jersey

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

Staying in good standing in New Jersey and Nevada

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

LLC or corporation, New Jersey to Nevada

An LLC formed in New Jersey files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Nevada into New Jersey

A corporation formed in Nevada that registers with New Jersey files New Jersey's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50). See that filing.

Questions New Jersey owners ask about Nevada

Does my New Jersey company need to register in Nevada?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

$624 at checkout; Nevada may also want New Jersey's Standing Certificate, 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 Jersey's certificate if Nevada asks for it. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

What are the yearly costs for New Jersey and Nevada?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), New Jersey's report ($75) and Nevada's report (fee set by the state).

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada corporation instead?

Yes, but New Jersey 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 Jersey's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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