What if I don't register with Georgia?

A Nevada company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Georgia can add a penalty of $500.

Does Georgia require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Georgia LLC instead?

Yes, but Nevada keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Georgia's Annual Registration ($60), and the original keeps Nevada's periodic report.

How do I withdraw from Georgia later?

Nevada companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of Certificate of Authority; until then, Georgia's report stays due alongside Nevada's filings.
