Utah LLC Foreign Registration in Nevada

An LLC formed in Utah that wants to do business in Nevada files an online registration (no form number), with $425 in state fees. Nevada asks nothing of Utah here, not even the Certificate of Existence. We file it with the Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division using your Utah records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

How Utah companies register with Nevada

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Nevada registered agent, next to your Utah name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Utah first, so the Nevada filing can go in right away. Once Nevada approves it, the Utah company can do business there.

Your Utah name and Nevada's rules

Nevada can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Your Nevada agent and the Utah one

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

Yearly filings: Nevada and Utah

Each year your LLC files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Utah plus Nevada comes to $517 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Utah to Nevada

A corporation formed in Utah files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same). After that come Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18) and Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent. See the corporation filing.

The other way: Nevada into Utah

An LLC formed in Nevada that registers with Utah files Utah's registration (no form number) with $59 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Utah owners ask about Nevada

Does my Utah company need to register in Nevada?

Yes, once a Utah business operates there; Nevada registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

$624 at checkout, with nothing to pay Utah.

Do I need Utah's certificate of good standing?

No, Nevada takes the registration without it.

How long does the Nevada registration take?

Nevada says most online filings are processed the same day at no extra charge; nothing comes from Utah first. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

What are the yearly costs for Utah and Nevada?

$517 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $18 to Utah and $350 to Nevada for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Nevada?

Nevada can charge a Utah company a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada LLC instead?

Yes, but Utah keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nevada's periodic report ($350), and the original keeps Utah's Annual Report/Renewal.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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