Step 2: Choose the Nevada registered agent
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address. The address has to be a street address in Nevada. A P.O. box alone is not enough.
Step 3: File Application for registration as a foreign limited-liability company
The Application for registration as a foreign limited-liability company goes to the Nevada Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division with $75.
