From Nevada to Vermont, step by step

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

Do I need Nevada's certificate of good standing?

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

How long does the Vermont registration take?

Vermont's online processing takes less than one business day, once Nevada's certificate is in hand.

$669 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $350 to Nevada and $170 to Vermont for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Vermont?

A Nevada company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Vermont can add a penalty of $50 a day, up to $10,000 a year.

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

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

Will Vermont 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.

Can I form a new Vermont LLC instead?

Yes, but Nevada keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($45), and the original keeps Nevada's periodic report.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

Nevada companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation; until then, Vermont's report stays due alongside Nevada's filings.
