Arizona LLC Foreign Registration in Nevada

Nevada registers an LLC from Arizona as a foreign LLC on an online registration (no form number), with $425 in state fees. Nevada asks nothing of Arizona here, not even the Certificate of Good Standing. We file it with the Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division from your Arizona records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Arizona companies register with Nevada

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Nevada registered agent, next to your Arizona name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Arizona first, so the Nevada filing can go in right away. After approval, your Arizona LLC is registered with Nevada.

Your Arizona name and Nevada's rules

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

Your Nevada agent and the Arizona one

Nevada calls it a registered agent; Arizona says statutory agent. Your current statutory agent stays for Arizona; ours takes Nevada's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Arizona and Nevada

Arizona has no annual report for LLCs; Nevada wants a periodic report every year ($350). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Arizona to Nevada

A corporation formed in Arizona files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same). After that come Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45) and Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent. See the corporation filing.

Registering a Nevada company in Arizona

Can I form a new Nevada LLC instead?

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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