From Nevada to Connecticut, step by step

Order the Nevada certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($50) is ordered from Nevada separately; it is not part of our Connecticut order. Connecticut counts 90 days from the day Nevada issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Connecticut registered agent, with your Nevada name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Nevada's certificate is in hand, Connecticut's filing goes in. After approval, your Nevada LLC is registered with Connecticut.
