Nevada Foreign Qualification

A Certificate of Good Standing, sometimes called a Certificate of Existence, is an official document from your business’s home state that proves your company is legally formed and compliant. Nevada requires this certificate to be submitted with your application.

Note: To be accepted by the state, the Certificate of Good Standing must be dated within 60 days of the date on which you submit your Foreign Qualification.

Before you can register, your company’s legal name must be unique and available for use in Nevada. If another registered business is already using your name, you will need to operate under an “Assumed Name” (also known as a DBA).

IncNow’s team will conduct a name availability search with the Nevada Secretary of State. If your company’s name is taken, we will immediately notify you and assist with registering an Assumed Name.

Nevada state law requires you to appoint a Registered Agent with a physical street address in the state to receive official legal and tax documents.

You can hire IncNow to serve as your Registered Agent if you do not have an Nevada address.

Your Nevada Registered Agent must sign a specific form to prove they’ve agreed to represent your company. The Registered Agent Acceptance Form will need to be filed along with your  Foreign Registration in Nevada. You can find this form on the Nevada Secretary of State’s website.

This is the official form that registers your out-of-state business in Nevada. It must be filed with the Secretary of State and requires precise details about your company and its appointed Registered Agent.

The form requires the following details:

• Your company’s exact legal name.
• The state where the company was originally formed. 
• The date when the company was formed. 
• Your company’s mailing address.
• Your contact information.
• The name and address of the company’s Registered Agent in Nevada.
• The names and addresses of the company’s Members, Managers or Directors.
• A signature from an Authorized Person.

You need to pay a filing fee in order to submit the Nevada Foreign Registration Statement. The filing fee in Nevada is $75 for foreign LLCs and corporations. State filing fees are included in the price of IncNow’s Foreign Qualification Service.
