Nevada Annual List: filed annually for $150, lists manager/RA. What it contains, deadlines, and privacy implications.

Nevada requires every LLC to file an Annual List with the Secretary of State. The fee is $150 per year. The list confirms the company's current managers, managing members, and registered agent, and it keeps the LLC in good standing. You file it online through the Nevada Secretary of State portal at nvsos.gov, and the state processes it alongside the $200 State Business License renewal.
The first version of this filing is called the Initial List. Nevada requires it at formation, and it is one of the three components inside the $425 state portion of a Nevada anonymous LLC (a $75 Articles of Organization fee, the $150 Initial List, and the $200 State Business License). Every year after that, you file an Annual List to renew the same information.
The Annual List includes the LLC name, the Nevada business identification number, the registered agent name and street address, and the name and address of at least one manager or managing member. Nevada does not ask for beneficial ownership or a full member roster on this filing, which is what keeps the structure workable for privacy.
After year one, you can list the registered agent as the manager of record. That substitution effectively removes your personal name from subsequent filings while still satisfying the statutory requirement to name a manager. The registered agent address appears in place of a home or personal address, so the public record shows the agent rather than you.
The Initial List in the first year requires a manager name, and that is the single privacy gap in Nevada's otherwise anonymous structure. If a manager is named at formation, that name sits in the public record for the first filing period. From the second year onward, the Annual List can substitute the registered agent as manager, closing the gap for every filing that follows.
If privacy on every filing, including the very first one, is non-negotiable, Wyoming is the stronger choice. Wyoming never requires manager or member disclosure, and it costs $397 all-in versus $722 for Nevada. Nevada earns its place when the deeper charging order case law matters more than first-year anonymity.
The Annual List is due on the last day of the anniversary month of formation. If you formed in March, your filing is due by March 31 each year. Miss the deadline and Nevada assesses a late penalty, and continued non-compliance leads to default and revocation of the LLC's standing.
The Annual List and the $200 State Business License renew on the same schedule, so a Nevada LLC carries $350 per year in mandatory state filings, the highest of any anonymous state. Wyoming, by contrast, runs about $100 per year. Budget for both Nevada filings together and treat the anniversary month as a hard deadline.
Anonymousllc.co files the Initial List as part of the $722 formation, so year one is handled inside your setup. From year two forward, you or your registered agent submits the Annual List. Many owners keep their agent on renewal so the $150 filing and the $200 license are never missed. Your agent also receives the state reminder notices, which reduces the risk of an accidental lapse.
The two filings share a form but serve different moments. The Initial List is the first submission, made at formation, and it is the one component of the $425 state charge that first puts a manager on the record. The Annual List is every filing after that, and it is where you can substitute the registered agent as manager to keep your name off the public record going forward. Same $150 fee, same information, different year.
Understanding the distinction matters for privacy planning. If first-year manager disclosure is acceptable to you, Nevada works well from year two onward. If it is not, that single Initial List requirement is the reason many privacy-focused owners choose Wyoming, which never asks for a manager name on any filing.
The Annual List fee is $150 per year, paid to the Nevada Secretary of State. It renews on your formation anniversary alongside the $200 State Business License.
Yes, from year two onward. You list the registered agent as the manager of record, and your personal name no longer appears. The first-year Initial List is the only filing that may show a manager name.
Nevada charges a late penalty and eventually places the LLC in default. Continued non-filing leads to revocation, and reinstatement requires paying all back fees plus a reinstatement charge.
No. They are two separate obligations that happen to share a deadline. The $150 Annual List updates your manager and agent, while the $200 State Business License authorizes the company to do business in Nevada.
