Arkansas LLC Foreign Registration in Nevada

An LLC formed in Arkansas that wants to do business in Nevada files an online registration (no form number), with $425 in state fees. Nevada asks nothing of Arkansas here, not even the Certificate of Good Standing. We file it with the Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division using your Arkansas records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

How Arkansas companies register with Nevada

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Nevada registered agent, with your Arkansas name and formation date. No Arkansas paperwork holds up the Nevada filing. After approval, your Arkansas LLC is registered with Nevada.

Will your Arkansas name work for Nevada?

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

Agents: Nevada and Arkansas

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

Yearly filings: Nevada and Arkansas

Each year your LLC files Arkansas's Annual LLC Franchise Tax Report ($150) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Arkansas plus Nevada comes to $649 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Arkansas to Nevada

A corporation formed in Arkansas files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same). After that come Arkansas's Annual Corporation Franchise Tax Report ($150) and Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent. See the corporation filing.

Registering a Nevada company in Arkansas

An LLC formed in Nevada that registers with Arkansas files Form FL-01 with $270 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50) dated within 30 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Arkansas to Nevada

Does my Arkansas company need to register in Nevada?

Yes, once an Arkansas business operates there; Nevada registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

$624 at checkout, with nothing to pay Arkansas.

Do I need Arkansas's certificate of good standing?

No, Nevada takes the registration without it.

How long does the Nevada registration take?

Nevada says most online filings are processed the same day at no extra charge; nothing comes from Arkansas first. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

What are the yearly costs for Arkansas and Nevada?

$649 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $150 to Arkansas and $350 to Nevada for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Nevada?

Nevada can charge an Arkansas company a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada LLC instead?

Yes, but Arkansas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nevada's periodic report ($350), and the original keeps Arkansas's Annual LLC Franchise Tax Report.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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