1Our first answer

1. Mainstay Filing: best for registering in many states

$199 plus the state fee, then $149 a year

Mainstay Filing is the one to ask first in Nevada because $199 over the state fee registers you, the registered agent is free in year one and then it is $149 a year.

Is it the smallest bill? No: Nevada Registered Agent.co is $100 less over three years, but it works in Nevada only.

The registered agent is free in year one and $149 a year after, in any state.

  • Out-of-state registration handled
  • Registered agent, no charge the first year

What owners want to know

When must an out-of-state LLC register here?

An LLC formed in another state registers with the Nevada Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division first, then does business in Nevada.

bizhub.nv.gov, read in October 2026 for this answer

How much does registration cost?

Registering costs $75 at the state, plus $199 if you hire help.

Add three years of state fees, registration included, and you get $775. bizhub.nv.gov, read in October 2026 for this answer

What registers the LLC?

Send the Application for registration as a foreign limited-liability company to the Nevada Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division; the registration is complete when it accepts the filing.

Good news: this registration does not call for a good standing certificate from home.

What do I owe once the LLC is registered?

Afterward comes a Annual list and State Business License renewal at $350.

Timing, in the state's words: end of the anniversary month.

What put number one on top?

Chores the price takes care of counts 29%, and Mainstay Filing leads there.

Two questions carry most of the weight, what you pay over three years (33%) and chores the price takes care of (29%), and three smaller ones follow.

An LLC that registers out of state already works in two states, and the first pick can serve both.

Still wondering?

Does the state where I formed the LLC still need an agent?

Expect to name one in each state. Mainstay Filing is active in all fifty, so it can serve the pair together.

How do the three-year totals compare?

Mainstay Filing comes to $497; Nevada Registered Agent.co comes to $397; Registered Agent NV.org comes to $397, before state fees.

Where do these numbers come from?

Each state fee links to its official page, and each service price is read from the company's own site.

Do I have to use a service?

No. What the law asks for is a filing, and it does not say who has to send it.

Can I hire someone to register the LLC?

They do. All the picks prepare and send the registration, so the only thing that changes with your choice is the service fee.

Which one do you recommend in Nevada?

Ask Mainstay Filing first, then compare Nevada Registered Agent.co and Registered Agent NV.org.
