Michigan LLC Foreign Registration in Nevada

An LLC formed in Michigan that wants to do business in Nevada files an online registration (no form number), with $425 in state fees. Nevada asks nothing of Michigan here, not even the Certificate of Good Standing. We file it with the Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division using your Michigan records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

How Michigan companies register with Nevada

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

Your Michigan name and Nevada's rules

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

Your Nevada agent and the Michigan one

Nevada calls it a registered agent; Michigan says resident agent. Nevada papers come to us; Michigan's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Michigan and Nevada

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

LLC or corporation, Michigan to Nevada

A corporation formed in Michigan files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same). After that come Michigan's Annual Report, Form CSCL/CD-2500 ($25) and Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent. See the corporation filing.

The other way: Nevada into Michigan

An LLC formed in Nevada that registers with Michigan files Form CSCL/CD 760 with $50 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50) dated within 30 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Michigan to Nevada

Does my Michigan company need to register in Nevada?

Yes, once a Michigan business operates there; Nevada registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

$624 at checkout, with nothing to pay Michigan.

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

What are the yearly costs for Michigan and Nevada?

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

What if I don't register with Nevada?

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

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

Yes: the Michigan resident agent stays, and ours covers Nevada for year one.

Can I form a new Nevada LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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