Nevada LLC Foreign Registration in Delaware

Delaware registers an LLC from Nevada as a foreign LLC on a registration (no form number), with $200 in state fees.

From Nevada to Delaware, step by step

Order the Nevada certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($50) is ordered from Nevada separately; it is not part of our Delaware order. Delaware counts 180 days from the day Nevada issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Delaware registered agent, next to your Nevada name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once Nevada's certificate is in hand, Delaware's filing goes in. Once Delaware approves it, the Nevada company can do business there.

LLC or corporation, Nevada to Delaware

Common questions: Nevada to Delaware

Does my Nevada company need to register in Delaware?

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

How much does it cost to register a Nevada LLC in Delaware?

$399 at checkout plus $50 to Nevada for the Certificate of Existence, $449 in all (checkout is $200 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Nevada's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Delaware wants Nevada's Certificate of Existence ($50), no more than 180 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Nevada and Delaware?

$799 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $350 to Nevada and $300 to Delaware for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Delaware?

A Nevada company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Delaware can add up to $200 for each year or part of a year.

Does Delaware require a registered agent?

Yes: the Nevada registered agent stays, and ours covers Delaware for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Delaware LLC instead?

Yes, but Nevada keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Delaware's Annual LLC Tax ($400), and the original keeps Nevada's periodic report.

How do I withdraw from Delaware later?

Nevada companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Delaware's report stays due alongside Nevada's filings.
