Nevada LLC Foreign Registration in Missouri

To do business in Missouri, an LLC formed in Nevada registers there on Form LLC 4, with $105 in state fees. Missouri also wants Nevada's Certificate of Existence ($50), dated within 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporations Division from your Nevada records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Nevada companies register with Missouri

Order the Nevada certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($50) is ordered from Nevada separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. Missouri counts 60 days from the day Nevada issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form LLC 4
It names us as your Missouri registered agent, with your Nevada name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Nevada's certificate is in hand, Missouri's filing goes in. Once Missouri approves it, the Nevada company can do business there.

Your Missouri agent and the Nevada one

Nevada and Missouri both call it a registered agent. Missouri papers come to us; Nevada's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Nevada and Missouri

Nevada wants a periodic report every year ($350); Missouri has no annual report for LLCs. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Nevada to Missouri

A corporation formed in Nevada files Form Corp 42 with Missouri ($155 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50)). After that come Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent and Missouri's Corporate Registration Report ($15). See the corporation filing.

Registering a Missouri company in Nevada

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

Questions Nevada owners ask about Missouri

Does my Nevada company need to register in Missouri?

Yes, once a Nevada business operates there; Missouri law lists 7 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Missouri registration cost?

$304 at checkout plus $50 to Nevada for the Certificate of Existence, $354 in all (checkout is $105 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Nevada's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Missouri wants Nevada's Certificate of Existence ($50), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Nevada and Missouri?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nevada's report ($350) and no Missouri yearly report.

What if I don't register with Missouri?

A Nevada company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Missouri can add a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Missouri require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Missouri LLC instead?

Yes, but Nevada keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no Missouri yearly report, and the original keeps Nevada's periodic report.

How do I withdraw from Missouri later?

Nevada companies leave by filing a Cancellation of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, both the Missouri registration and Nevada's filings stay in place.
