The Nevada agent, in order

  1. Task 1

    Learn the requirement

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

    Source: leg.state.nv.us (page read October 2026)

  2. Task 2

    See who may act

    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. This is in NRS 77.310.

  3. Task 3

    Pick an address that complies

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

    Every recommended service provides the Nevada office address.

  4. Task 4

    Serve yourself or use a professional

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

  5. Task 5

    Get the agent listed publicly

    The Articles of Organization asks for the agent's name and address, and the Nevada Secretary of State also takes change filings from LLCs switching agents.

  6. Task 6

    Track the recurring filing

    Nevada learns your agent's details 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), and state notices about it go to the registered agent.
