Nevada Initial List: Manager Disclosure Explained

The one disclosure Nevada requires

Under NRS § 86.263, every Nevada LLC must file an Initial List within 30 days of formation. This list must include the name and address of at least one manager or managing member. Unlike Wyoming, New Mexico, and Delaware — which require zero member/manager disclosure — Nevada has this one mandatory disclosure on the first filing.

How to minimize the impact

After the first year, subsequent Annual Lists can list the registered agent as the manager. This means your personal name appears on Nevada records for approximately one year. From year 2 forward, only the RA\\\'s name appears. Some founders consider this acceptable. Others prefer Wyoming\\\'s zero-disclosure approach.

Is this really anonymous?

Nevada is best described as near-anonymous rather than fully anonymous. For practical purposes, after year 1, public records show the RA\\\'s name — not yours. But the Initial List is a permanent public record. A determined searcher can find your name on the first-year filing. In Wyoming, there is no filing that ever contains your name.

Workaround considerations

Some advisors suggest using a manager-managed structure with a third-party manager for the Initial List. This is essentially a nominee arrangement — which Anonymousllc.co recommends against for the reasons detailed in our nominee services warning. The simpler solution: if full anonymity from day 1 matters, choose Wyoming instead.
