Minnesota LLC Foreign Registration in Nevada

Nevada registers an LLC from Minnesota as a foreign LLC on an online registration (no form number), with $425 in state fees. Nevada asks nothing of Minnesota here, not even the Certificate of Good Standing. We file it with the Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division from your Minnesota records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Minnesota companies register with Nevada

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

Your Minnesota name and Nevada's rules

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

Your Nevada agent and the Minnesota one

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

Staying in good standing in Minnesota and Nevada

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

LLC or corporation, Minnesota to Nevada

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

The other way: Nevada into Minnesota

An LLC formed in Nevada that registers with Minnesota files Minnesota's registration (no form number) with $205 in state fees; no Nevada certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Minnesota to Nevada

Do I need Minnesota's certificate of good standing?

No, Nevada takes the registration without it.

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

What if I don't register with Nevada?

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

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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