Nevada LLC Foreign Registration in Florida

An LLC formed in Nevada that wants to do business in Florida files Form CR2E027, with $125 in state fees. Florida also wants Nevada's Certificate of Existence ($50), dated within 90 days. We file it with the Department of State, Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), Registration Section using your Nevada records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Nevada to Florida, step by step

Order the Nevada certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($50) is ordered from Nevada separately; it is not part of our Florida order. Florida accepts it within 90 days of Nevada's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form CR2E027
It names us as your Florida registered agent, with your Nevada name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Nevada certificate comes first; then the Florida filing goes in. Once Florida approves it, the Nevada company can do business there.

Will your Nevada name work for Florida?

Florida accepts your Nevada name if it includes Limited Liability Company, L.L.C. or LLC. If the Nevada name already ends in LLC, it meets the rule. If another Florida company uses the Nevada name, an alternate name is allowed. Florida can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Agents: Florida and Nevada

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

Yearly filings: Florida and Nevada

Each year your LLC files Nevada's periodic report ($350) and Florida's Annual Report ($138.75). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Nevada plus Florida comes to $637.75 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Nevada to Florida

A corporation formed in Nevada files Form CR2E007 with Florida ($70 in state fees). After that come Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent and Florida's Annual Report ($150). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Florida into Nevada

An LLC formed in Florida that registers with Nevada files Nevada's registration (no form number) with $425 in state fees; no Florida certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Nevada owners ask about Florida

Does my Nevada company need to register in Florida?

Yes, once a Nevada business operates there; Florida law lists 13 activities that do not count on their own.

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

$324 at checkout plus $50 to Nevada for the Certificate of Existence, $374 in all (checkout is $125 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Nevada's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Florida wants Nevada's Certificate of Existence ($50), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Nevada and Florida?

$637.75 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $350 to Nevada and $138.75 to Florida for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Florida?

A Nevada company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Florida can add a civil penalty of up to $1,000 and a fine of at least $500.

Does Florida require a registered agent?

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

Will Florida accept my Nevada name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Nevada name at home. Florida names must include Limited Liability Company, L.L.C. or LLC.

Can I form a new Florida LLC instead?

Yes, but Nevada keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Florida's Annual Report ($138.75), and the original keeps Nevada's periodic report.

How do I withdraw from Florida later?

Nevada companies leave by filing a Notice of Withdrawal of Certificate of Authority ($25); until then, Florida's report stays due alongside Nevada's filings.
