The Nevada Secretary of State is the regulator for every Nevada LLC. Nevada has the most expensive annual maintenance among the four anonymous states - $200 business license + $350 Annual List = $550/year - but also one of the strongest asset-protection statutes in the US. This Anonymousllc.co reference covers filing fees, processing times, the Initial List requirement, and annual maintenance under NRS Chapter 86.
§ 86.161 governs Articles. § 86.263 governs Initial/Annual List. § 86.401 governs charging-order exclusivity. NRS § 76.100 governs the State Business License.
Open full text →The Nevada Secretary of State maintains the public registry of all Nevada business entities and accepts Articles of Organization for Nevada LLCs under NRS § 86.151 and § 86.161. The Nevada SOS also processes the Initial List (filed within 30 days of formation), the Annual List (filed every year on the anniversary of formation), and the State Business License (separate from the Annual List, governed by NRS § 76.100). Nevada's asset-protection draw comes from NRS § 86.401 - the charging order is the exclusive remedy for a creditor of a member, similar to Wyoming. Nevada is the second choice, after Wyoming, for buyers who want the strongest asset protection and accept the highest annual maintenance for it.
Nevada accepts LLC Articles of Organization through the SilverFlume online portal, by mail, or with paid expedited service - SilverFlume is the standard route at 3-7 business days. Anonymousllc.co's filing partner files online by default. Nevada accepts Articles of Organization through: • Online portal - SilverFlume at silverflume.nv.gov. Standard processing 3-7 business days. Used by Anonymousllc.co's filing partner. • Mail filing - Nevada Secretary of State, 202 N. Carson Street, Carson City, NV 89701. Adds 7-10 business days vs online. • Expedited filing - 24-hour expedited ($125 additional), 2-hour ($500 additional), 1-hour ($1,000 additional). Most Anonymousllc.co customers do not need expedited service. Nevada is consistently the slowest state SOS among the four anonymous-LLC states. Wyoming and NM process in 1-3 business days; Delaware standard is 1-3 days; Nevada standard is 3-7. Customers needing faster turnaround can pay for expedited or pick a different state.
Nevada charges $425 in state fees at formation: a $75 filing fee, a $150 Initial List, and a $200 State Business License, all due together. That $425 is the state-fee line in Anonymousllc.co's $722 Nevada package. Articles of Organization (LLC): $75 under NRS § 86.171. Initial List of Managers or Members: $150, due within 30 days of formation under NRS § 86.263. Anonymousllc.co files Articles + Initial List together for customers. State Business License: $200 under NRS § 76.100, due at formation and annually thereafter. Total at formation: $425 ($75 + $150 + $200). This is the 'state fee' line in Anonymousllc.co's Nevada LLC pricing: $397 Anonymousllc.co + $425 state = $722 total. The highest formation cost among the four anonymous states. Name reservation (optional): $25 for 90 days. Anonymousllc.co skips name reservation - name availability is checked at SilverFlume before filing. Certified copy: $30. Apostille: $20 + $20 per document.
Nevada's anonymity is structurally similar to Wyoming and Delaware - the Articles of Organization under NRS § 86.161 do not require member or manager listing. The required fields are: LLC name, registered agent's name and Nevada street address, organizer name and signature. The NUANCE: Nevada's Initial List and Annual List under NRS § 86.263 DO require listing 'the names and addresses of the managers, or if no managers, the members.' This creates a fork at the formation stage: • Member-managed Nevada LLC: members must be listed on the Annual List. Anonymity is compromised by year 2. • Manager-managed Nevada LLC: only managers must be listed. If the manager is a corporate entity (an Anonymousllc.co-supplied nominee LLC), the beneficial owners do not appear. Anonymousllc.co's Nevada formation default is MANAGER-MANAGED with a manager-of-record structure that preserves state-records anonymity. The customer remains the actual decision-maker via the operating agreement; the Annual List shows only the manager-of-record.
Nevada LLC annual maintenance is $550 recurring: a $350 Annual List plus a $200 State Business License renewal, both due the last day of the anniversary month. This is the highest ongoing cost of the four anonymous states. Annual List: $350 (Nevada raised this from $150 to $350 effective July 1, 2023). Due last day of the LLC's anniversary month under NRS § 86.263. Late penalty $75 + revocation at 12 months. State Business License renewal: $200/year under NRS § 76.100. Same anniversary-month deadline. Late penalty $100. Total annual recurring: $550/year, by far the most expensive among the four anonymous states. (Wyoming $60, NM $0, Delaware $300.) This is why Anonymousllc.co's Nevada LLC is positioned for customers who specifically want Nevada asset protection (NRS § 86.401 charging-order exclusivity) and are willing to pay for it. For pure anonymity at lower ongoing cost, Wyoming and NM are the better fits.
A Nevada LLC costs more to form and maintain than Wyoming - $425 versus $100 in state fees, and $550/year versus $60 - but Nevada offers a mature asset-protection statute and legal community. Wyoming wins on cost and processing speed. Processing is the practical gap: Wyoming clears filings in 1-3 business days, while Nevada's SilverFlume standard runs 3-7. A founder who values speed and low cost picks Wyoming; one who values Nevada's § 86.401 charging-order case law accepts the higher price. Anonymousllc.co forms both and matches the state to the buyer. For pure anonymity at low ongoing cost, Wyoming or New Mexico fits; for asset-protection-first buyers, Nevada's statutes justify the $722 formation and $550 annual maintenance. Name reservation is optional in both states and Anonymousllc.co skips it, since name availability is checked at SilverFlume before the Articles are filed. A certified copy ($30) or apostille ($20 plus $20 per document) is available from the Nevada Secretary of State on request for non-residents opening foreign bank accounts.
Anonymousllc.co files the Articles of Organization on SilverFlume, files the Initial List within 30 days, and files the State Business License, then handles the registered agent, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications. The Nevada SKU is $722 total. Anonymousllc.co's Nevada LLC SKU ($297 + $425 state = $722 total) includes: • Filing Articles of Organization via SilverFlume (standard 3-7 business day turnaround) • Filing the Initial List of Managers within 30 days of formation • Filing the State Business License application • Registered agent year 1 (renews $100/year) • Manager-managed structure with manager-of-record to preserve anonymity on the Annual List • Custom operating agreement drafted to NRS Chapter 86 defaults • EIN from IRS • Bank applications to 4-5 US banks Year 2 reminders: Anonymousllc.co sends a 30-day WhatsApp reminder before each Annual List + Business License deadline. The customer pays $550 directly to Nevada SOS, or adds Anonymousllc.co's Annual Report Filing add-on at $99 for hands-off renewal (in addition to the $550 state fees).
