More questions

Do I still need an agent in my home state?

You do: two states mean two sets of rules, and one-state services stop at the border while Mainstay Filing does not.

What is the three-year cost of each?

$397 for Registered Agent NV.org, $497 for Mainstay Filing, $397 for Nevada Registered Agent.co (services only).

Where do these figures come from?

Official Nevada documents supply the state fees, and the companies' own pricing pages supply the service fees. Both carry dates on this page.

Is a service required by law?

No. You can file with the state yourself; a service saves time and can act as your agent, but nothing makes you hire one.

Will a service file the registration for me?

Yes, filing is part of what these companies sell, and the state fee does not move.

Who is your first choice in Nevada?

Registered Agent NV.org, because $199 over the state fee at the start, then $99 yearly. Then Mainstay Filing and Nevada Registered Agent.co.
