Will the state make me name a registered agent?
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
The rule comes from NRS 77.310. leg.state.nv.us · October 2026 · checked
Who counts?
A commercial registered agent, a noncommercial agent (an individual or entity with a physical Nevada address), or the title of an office in the company itself. Anyone acting as agent for 10 or more companies has to register as a commercial agent.
Qualify, and the job can be yours for free.
What should I budget for an agent?
$99 to $149 a year with the services we'd use, or $297 to $447 across three years.
State fees don't move with your choice of agent.
What's the agent's role?
It collects lawsuits and official state mail for your LLC at an address in Nevada.
Service is only as good as the forwarding, so ask how documents reach you. What does "service of process" mean?
What does the state want from the LLC annually?
Plan for the Annual List of Managers or Managing Members and State Business License Application/Renewal ($350, annual). It's due last day of the LLC's anniversary month, so add the date to your calendar.

How did you decide the order?
It's work taken off your hands (31% of the score), and Mainstay Filing does best there.
Cost across three years (33%) and work taken off your hands (31%) matter most, and three lighter checks sit behind them.
Reach is the difference: fifty states versus one.
