Registered Agent NV.org is $150 less across three years; covering more lesson steps outweighs the gap on our rubric.

The steps

  1. Step 1: Understand the requirement

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

    Official source: leg.state.nv.us (October 2026)

  2. Step 2: Check who can 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. See NRS 77.310.

  3. Step 3: Get the address right

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

    TipUsing a service keeps your own address off the public record.

  4. Step 4: Do it yourself or hire an agent

    Serving yourself is allowed when you qualify; hiring one of our picks runs $99 to $149 yearly.

  5. Step 5: Put the agent on record

    The Articles of Organization has a place for the agent. The Nevada Secretary of State also takes change filings.

    Official source: leg.state.nv.us (October 2026)

  6. Step 6: Keep the agent current

    Your registered agent receives the state's mail about the Annual List of Managers or Managing Members and State Business License Application/Renewal, which costs $350 every year and is due last day of the LLC's anniversary month.
