From Nevada to North Dakota, step by step

Order the Nevada certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($50) is ordered from Nevada separately; it is not part of our North Dakota order. North Dakota wants the Nevada certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your North Dakota registered agent, with your Nevada name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Nevada's certificate is in hand, North Dakota's filing goes in. After approval, your Nevada LLC is registered with North Dakota.
