From Virginia to Nevada, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Nevada registered agent, with your Virginia name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Virginia first, so the Nevada filing can go in right away. After approval, your Virginia LLC is registered with Nevada.

Will your Virginia name work for Nevada?

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

Your Nevada agent and the Virginia one

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

Yearly filings: Nevada and Virginia

Each year your LLC files Virginia's Annual Registration Fee ($50) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Virginia plus Nevada comes to $549 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Virginia to Nevada

A corporation formed in Virginia files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same). After that come Virginia's Annual Report + Annual Registration Fee ($50) and Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent. See the corporation filing.

Registering a Nevada company in Virginia

An LLC formed in Nevada that registers with Virginia files Form LLC1052 with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($50) dated within one year. See that filing.

Questions Virginia owners ask about Nevada

$624 at checkout, with nothing to pay Virginia.

Do I need Virginia'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 Virginia first. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

$549 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $50 to Virginia and $350 to Nevada for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Nevada?

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

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada LLC instead?

Yes, but Virginia keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nevada's periodic report ($350), and the original keeps Virginia's Annual Registration Fee.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

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