Louisiana LLC Foreign Registration in Nevada

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

From Louisiana to Nevada, step by step

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

Your Louisiana name and Nevada's rules

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

Agents: Nevada and Louisiana

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

Staying in good standing in Louisiana and Nevada

Each year your LLC files Louisiana's Annual Report ($40) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Louisiana plus Nevada comes to $539 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Louisiana to Nevada

A corporation formed in Louisiana files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same). After that come Louisiana's Annual Report ($30) and Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent. See the corporation filing.

The other way: Nevada into Louisiana

An LLC formed in Nevada that registers with Louisiana files Form 972 with $190 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Louisiana to Nevada

Do I need Louisiana's certificate of good standing?

No, Nevada takes the registration without it.

$539 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $40 to Louisiana and $350 to Nevada for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Nevada?

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

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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