Appointing a Nevada registered agent, move by move

  1. Move 1

    The requirement in brief

    Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

    Where this comes from: Official page: leg.state.nv.us (October 2026)

  2. Move 2

    Who qualifies

    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. (NRS 77.310)

  3. Move 3

    The address test

    The address has to be a street address in Nevada. A P.O. box alone is not enough.

    A service provides a Nevada street address, so yours stays off the record.

  4. Move 4

    Decide who takes the role

    An eligible owner may serve. Otherwise our recommended agents run $99 to $149 a year.

  5. Move 5

    Record the appointment

    New companies list the agent on the Articles of Organization. Replacing the agent later means filing again with the Nevada Secretary of State.

    Where this comes from: Official page: leg.state.nv.us (October 2026)

  6. Move 6

    Update when things change

    The Annual List of Managers or Managing Members and State Business License Application/Renewal runs $350 every year, due last day of the LLC's anniversary month; notices about it come through the registered agent.

    Where this comes from: Official page: nvsos.gov (October 2026)
