Do I need a Registered Agent for my Nevada Business?

You can form a new business in Nevada or shift your existing business to the state as it’s a low cost of doing business, but has a strong regulatory environment ensures that your business experiences good growth. This is where you are probably asking the question “Why do I need registered agent services in Nevada?”

Why Do I need a Registered Agent in Nevada?

The corporate or LLC laws in most of the states in the U.S including the State of Nevada, requires each and every business entity formed or registered in the state, to designate as well as maintain a “registered agent” in the public records of that state. Is there a law in Nevada that requires businesses to maintain a registered agent?

According to NRS 77.390 and NAC 77.015 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and Administrative Codes, and NV Rev Stat § 86.231 (2013), a business entity has to designate and maintain a Nevada registered agent to enable service of process.

It is also important to note that in most jurisdictions or states including Nevada, failure to maintain a registered agent can lead to revocation or dissolution of the business entity’s legal status. Such an act will take away the authority to transact business within the state.

A registered agent like IncParadise, acts as the bridge between the Secretary of the State and the business entity by becoming the primary “point of contact”. Being your “point of contact” ensures we are able to oversee and manage a variety of requirements of different types of business entities. We can help you with filing of your articles of formation, however if you require the filing of other documentation ordered by you like an annual report then don’t worry as all you have to do is simply opt from our list of additional services and we will take care of the rest.

Can I be my own Registered Agent or Choose a Professional
Registered Agent for my Nevada Business?

An individual is allowed to act as their own registered agent but the rule varies from one state to another. In the state of Nevada, businesses have the following options:

Individual as Registered Agent

There are many states that allow an individual to act as the Nevada registered agent for their own business entity if they have a physical address in the state or they are a bona fide resident of the state. This address is required for “service of process” or for the secretary of the state to send any notifications to. An individual cannot become an agent by providing a post office box address.

As an agent, you shall be available during business hours through the week, to accept as well as sign any notifications or legal documents sent by the state. It is important to understand that a government official or sheriff can visit the physical address provided especially for signing legal documents when a business gets sued.

Hiring a Commercial Registered Agent
