Naming a Nevada registered agent, assignment by assignment

  1. Assignment
    1

    What Nevada expects of an agent

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

    Textbook page: Check the textbook page: leg.state.nv.us (read October 2026)

  2. Assignment
    2

    Find out who is allowed to serve

    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. Assignment
    3

    Use an office address that qualifies

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

    Hire a service and its Nevada street address goes on the filing in place of yours.

  4. Assignment

    Decide who holds the role

    If you pass the tests above, you can name yourself; hiring one of the graded agents costs $99 to $149 a year.

  5. Assignment

    Name the agent in your filing

    A new company names its agent when it files the Articles of Organization; replacing the agent later takes another filing with the Nevada Secretary of State.

    Track the recurring filing

    Nevada keeps your agent's details current through the Annual List of Managers or Managing Members and State Business License Application/Renewal ($350, every year, due last day of the LLC's anniversary month); notices about it land with the registered agent.
