Colorado LLC Foreign Registration in Nevada

Nevada registers an LLC from Colorado as a foreign LLC on an online registration (no form number), with $425 in state fees. Nevada needs nothing from Colorado: no Certificate of Good Standing. We file it with the Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division from your Colorado records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Colorado companies register with Nevada

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Nevada registered agent, with your Colorado name and formation date. No Colorado paperwork holds up the Nevada filing. Once Nevada approves it, the Colorado company can do business there.

Your Colorado name and Nevada's rules

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

Your Nevada agent and the Colorado one

Colorado and Nevada both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Colorado; ours takes Nevada's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Nevada and Colorado

Each year your LLC files Colorado's Periodic Report ($25) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Colorado plus Nevada comes to $524 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Colorado to Nevada

A corporation formed in Colorado files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same). After that come Colorado's Periodic Report ($25) and Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent. See the corporation filing.

The other way: Nevada into Colorado

An LLC formed in Nevada that registers with Colorado files Colorado's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees; no Nevada certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Colorado owners ask about Nevada

Do I need Colorado's certificate of good standing?

No, Nevada takes the registration without it.

How long does the Nevada registration take?

$524 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $25 to Colorado and $350 to Nevada for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Nevada?

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

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada LLC instead?

Yes, but Colorado keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nevada's periodic report ($350), and the original keeps Colorado's Periodic Report.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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