How Vermont companies register with Nevada

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

Your Vermont name and Nevada's rules

Your Nevada agent and the Vermont one

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

Yearly filings: Nevada and Vermont

Vermont wants the Annual Report every year ($60); 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, Vermont to Nevada

An LLC formed in Vermont files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Vermont's Annual Report ($45) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). See the LLC filing.

Questions Vermont owners ask about Nevada

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada corporation instead?

Yes, but Vermont 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 Vermont's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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