From Idaho to Nevada, step by step

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

Your Idaho name and Nevada's rules

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

Agents: Nevada and Idaho

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

Yearly filings: Nevada and Idaho

Each year your LLC files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Idaho plus Nevada comes to $499 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Idaho to Nevada

A corporation formed in Idaho files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same). After that come Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent. See the corporation filing.

Registering a Nevada company in Idaho

An LLC formed in Nevada that registers with Idaho files Idaho's registration (no form number) with $103.50 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Idaho owners ask about Nevada

Does my Idaho company need to register in Nevada?

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

$624 at checkout, with nothing to pay Idaho.

Do I need Idaho'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 Idaho first. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

What are the yearly costs for Idaho and Nevada?

$499 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, nothing to Idaho and $350 to Nevada for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Nevada?

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

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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