A Nevada anonymous LLC keeps member and manager names off the public formation record filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. The catch: Nevada also requires an initial and annual list of managers/members that is publicly searchable, so anonymity holds only when a formation agent organizes the filing and a registered agent address is used, unlike Wyoming or New Mexico where no member list is ever filed. Through Anonymousllc.co a Nevada anonymous LLC is $722 all-in ($297 service fee plus $425 in Nevada state fees), the highest state cost of the four anonymous-LLC states, and forms in 5-10 business days.
A Nevada LLC is a limited liability company registered with the Nevada Secretary of State that shields personal assets and keeps owner names off the public record. Formation runs through Carson City with a $425 state filing fee. The path has six steps: name search, Articles of Organization, registered agent appointment, operating agreement, EIN, and bank account. Anonymousllc.co runs all six from a single WhatsApp intake and delivers a funded US business account inside 5-10 business days. Nevada also permits series LLCs, letting one parent entity hold multiple protected series under a single filing. Nevada attracts founders who want a US LLC with no state income tax and strong privacy, and who do not mind the higher filing cost. The entity is a pass-through for federal tax and a separate legal person that shields the owner's personal assets from business debts. The formation itself is identical for US residents and non-residents; only the EIN step differs, handled by fax for founders without an SSN.
A Nevada anonymous LLC is $722 all-in through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus $425 in Nevada state fees (Articles of Organization, initial list, and the state business license). That single price covers the state filing, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Articles of Organization | $75 |
| Initial List of Members/Managers (due within 30 days) | $150 |
| State Business License (annual) | $200/year |
| Annual List of Members/Managers (year 2+) | $150/year |
| Nevada state fees, first year | $425 |
| Our formation package (all-in) | $297 + $425 state = $722 total |
Total first-year Nevada state fees are $425 — significantly higher than Wyoming ($100) or New Mexico ($50). Nevada carries the highest state fee of the four anonymous states. Year two onward, the recurring cost is the $200 state business license plus the $150 annual list ($350 combined) and the $100/year registered agent renewal, for $450/year total. EIN, ITIN, and BOI add-ons are priced separately at $99, $299, and $150 per report.
The single $722 price removes the guesswork of a DIY filing, where a non-resident must obtain an EIN by fax without an SSN and open a US bank account remotely. Anonymousllc.co handles both, so the founder pays once and receives a filed LLC, an EIN, an operating agreement, and a funded account.
A Nevada LLC is fully operational in 5-10 business days end-to-end. Nevada accepts the Articles of Organization within 1-3 business days, the EIN follows in 5-7 days, and bank approval lands 8-10 days after the EIN. The steps run in parallel wherever possible. Day 0 is a 5-minute WhatsApp intake, the Articles file the same day, and the EIN application starts the moment the state stamp arrives. Bank applications go to four or five partner banks at once, so a decline at one institution never resets the clock.
A Nevada LLC is anonymous because the Articles of Organization filed through the state's SilverFlume portal do not have to name the beneficial owners, and Anonymousllc.co serves as organizer and registered agent so only the commercial agent appears publicly. The owner's name and home address never reach the Secretary of State database. The important nuance: Nevada does require an initial list and an annual list of managers or members, and those lists ARE publicly searchable on SilverFlume. Anonymity therefore depends on how the filing is structured, using a formation agent as organizer and a registered agent address rather than the founder's own name and home address. This is why Nevada's privacy is often called conditional, while Wyoming and New Mexico never file a member list at all. For buyers whose top priority is keeping ownership off public records, the four anonymous-LLC states (Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, Nevada) are the standard answer, and the registered agent structure is what holds the wall in place.
Nevada keeps owners private by listing the registered agent on the public record instead of the beneficial owners, and by structuring the manager or member disclosure so the founder's personal details stay off the Secretary of State database. The commercial agent address is what the public sees. The annual list confirms the registered agent and officers each year without publishing beneficial ownership to the world. Anonymousllc.co acts as organizer and registered agent, so neither the formation filing nor the yearly list exposes the founder's name or address. This is the practical mechanism behind Nevada LLC anonymity. Privacy holds only while the registered agent structure stays in place, which is why the $100/year renewal matters as much as the formation filing. If a founder self-appointed as agent, their home address would appear on the public record and the annual list, undoing the anonymity. The commercial agent is the wall between the owner and the public database.
Nevada requires an annual list of managers or members plus a state business license every year, totaling $350: a $200 business license and a $150 annual list. Both are due each year to keep the LLC in good standing. The annual list updates the registered agent, principal office, and officer details. Missing the deadline moves the LLC to default status and, if unresolved, administrative dissolution, which strips the liability shield. Anonymousllc.co files the business license and annual list together each year as part of registered agent service, so nothing lapses.
Nevada charges no state personal income tax and no corporate income tax; the Nevada commerce tax applies only above $4M in Nevada gross revenue. Federally, a single-member LLC is a disregarded entity and a multi-member LLC is a partnership by default. Profits pass through to the owners' personal returns with no entity-level federal income tax. An LLC can elect S-corporation treatment by filing IRS Form 2553 to reduce self-employment tax once net income exceeds $40,000-$60,000. State tax stays at zero for the vast majority of small LLCs below the $4M commerce-tax threshold.
Every Nevada LLC must maintain a registered agent with a physical Nevada street address to receive legal service and state mail. The agent's address appears on the public record instead of the owner's. Anonymousllc.co provides Nevada registered agent service at $100/year, included for year one in the formation package. The agent forwards state notices and legal service the same day it arrives and tracks the annual list deadline. Using a commercial agent keeps the founder's home or business address off the Secretary of State database, the practical foundation of Nevada LLC privacy. See /nevada-registered-agent/.
All four anonymous states keep owner names off public formation records, but they differ sharply on how airtight that privacy is and what it costs. Wyoming and New Mexico never file a member list, so there is no public list to structure around. Nevada and Delaware do file lists, so anonymity depends on the registered agent structure. Nevada is also the most expensive: $722 to form and $350 per year, versus Wyoming at $397 and $60, New Mexico at $347 with no annual report, and Delaware at $407 with a $300 franchise tax.
Wyoming is the flagship for cost and simplicity. New Mexico is the cheapest to maintain because it requires no annual report and no annual fee. Delaware suits VC-backed structures. Nevada suits owners who specifically need a Nevada nexus or want no state income tax paired with strong anonymity. You can compare all anonymous LLC states side by side to see which fits your situation.
Yes. Non-US residents form Nevada LLCs without an SSN, ITIN, or visa, and never need to visit the United States. Nevada places no citizenship or residency condition on LLC ownership. Anonymousllc.co files the Articles, obtains the EIN by fax without an SSN in 5-7 days, provides the Nevada registered agent and address, and submits US bank applications remotely. The founder handles the entire process from abroad over WhatsApp. Banking is harder for non-residents, so the four-to-five bank strategy raises the overall approval rate to about 90%.
Anonymousllc.co submits applications to four or five US partner banks (Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, and others) in parallel, using the stamped Articles, EIN letter, and operating agreement. Approval averages 8-10 days after the EIN.
Applying to multiple banks at once raises the overall approval rate to about 90%, because a decline at one bank does not end the process. These are US business accounts with routing and account numbers, wire and ACH access, and debit cards. Non-residents open them remotely with no US visit, and a funded account lands by day 10-12 of the overall timeline. See the full anonymous LLC bank account guide for the bank-by-bank breakdown.
