How Connecticut companies register with Nevada

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Nevada registered agent, with your Connecticut name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Connecticut first, so the Nevada filing can go in right away. Once Nevada approves it, the Connecticut company can do business there.

Your Connecticut name and Nevada's rules

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

Your Nevada agent and the Connecticut one

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

Staying in good standing in Connecticut and Nevada

Each year your LLC files Connecticut's Annual Report ($80) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Connecticut plus Nevada comes to $579 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Connecticut to Nevada

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

The other way: Nevada into Connecticut

An LLC formed in Nevada that registers with Connecticut files Connecticut's registration (no form number) with $120 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50) dated within 90 days. See that filing.
