From Illinois to Nevada, step by step

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

Will your Illinois name work for Nevada?

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

Your Nevada agent and the Illinois one

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

Yearly filings: Nevada and Illinois

Each year your LLC files Illinois's Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form LLC-50.1) ($75) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Illinois plus Nevada comes to $574 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Illinois to Nevada

A corporation formed in Illinois files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same). After that come Illinois's Annual Report (Form BCA 14.05) ($75) and Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent. See the corporation filing.

Does Nevada require a registered agent?
