Nevada Foreign Registration / Annual list
The Nevada annual list and license renewal
A foreign LLC registered in Nevada pays $350 a year, $150 for its annual list and $200 to renew its State Business License, both due by the end of its registration anniversary month. A late list adds $75.

What the list contains
The list gives the LLC's name and file number, the names and titles of all its managers or, if it has none, all its managing members, an address for each, and the signature of a manager or managing member or another authorized person certifying that the list is true, complete and accurate (NRS 86.5461). It is filed on the Annual or Amended List and State Business License Application, the same form used at registration.
Each list carries the declaration under penalty of perjury: compliance with the business license law, acknowledgment of the false-filing felony, and that no manager is named to conceal who is really in charge.
Choosing an alternative due date
The statute lets a foreign LLC pick an alternative due date, after which its list falls due on or before the last day of that month each year instead of the anniversary month. It suits owners who want Nevada to line up with other annual filings. The choice is made on a form from the Secretary of State.
When the deadline passes
A list filed after the due date costs the $75 late fee on top of the regular fees. Leave it long enough and the Secretary of State compiles its list of foreign LLCs whose right to transact business has been forfeited, notifying each one's registered agent of the filing fee, penalties and costs still owed; the agent can ask to receive the notice electronically. A forfeited LLC that keeps doing business is in terminated status, which can be referred for the $1,000 to $10,000 fine.
Reinstating a forfeited registration
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Lists | The list required for the current period, with any related statement |
| Registered agent | The agent information Nevada requires |
| Declaration | That the reinstatement is authorized by a court, or by the managers (or managing members) |
| Back fees | The list fee and penalty for each year or part year forfeited |
| Reinstatement fee | $300 |
Reinstatement is set by NRS 86.5467. An LLC that has stopped doing business here may be better off cancelling; see the cancellation page.
Changes during the year
Managers change between lists. An amended list on the same form records the change; one filed within 60 days after the initial list costs nothing, and a manager who resigns can file a resignation for $75. A new registered agent is a separate statement of change for $60.
Filing the annual list online
On SilverFlume, the annual list and license renewal are filed through the online list service: the managers and addresses are confirmed or updated and the $350 is paid online. Keep the receipt; documents and receipts filed online stay available in the portal for 365 days. Most online transactions are processed the same day at no extra charge. Claiming a license exemption, though, has to be done on paper.
Corporations
A foreign corporation files the same kind of yearly list, naming its president, secretary, treasurer and directors, but its list fee follows authorized stock, from $150 to $11,125, and its license is $500. It also owes the yearly newspaper statement described on the corporation page.
Annual list questions
Is the first annual list due a year after registering?
Yes. The initial list is filed with the registration, then the list is due each year by the end of the anniversary month, unless the LLC chose an alternative due date.
Who gets the reminder?
Forfeiture notices go to the registered agent, which is one more reason to keep the agent current and forwarding mail.
What if we sell the business between lists?
The new owners should file an amended list naming the new managers, and a statement of change if the agent changes, rather than waiting for the anniversary.
Can we file the annual list online?
Yes, through SilverFlume, unless the LLC claims a State Business License exemption.
Will you file our annual list?
On request. Email us before the end of the anniversary month.
