Nevada charges $60 to change your agent, and sends the warnings to the old one.

Yes. NRS 86.231 says a limited-liability company shall have a registered agent with a street address for service of process, and that street address is the LLC's registered office in Nevada. NRS 14.020(1) adds that every LLC doing business in Nevada, domestic or foreign, must appoint and keep in Nevada a registered agent who resides or is located in the state.

Nevada splits agents into two kinds. A commercial registered agent is a person or company registered with the Secretary of State under NRS 77.320; anyone serving as agent for 10 or more entities must register. Everyone else is a noncommercial registered agent, which covers an owner, a manager, a friend, or a local business serving a handful of companies. Either way the agent must reside or be located in Nevada, give an actual Nevada street address (NRS 77.300), and sign a certificate of acceptance (NRS 77.310(2)). A registration form also lets you name the title of an office within the LLC, such as manager, with that person's business office address.

Yes, if you live in Nevada or have a Nevada street address where you can be found. Under NRS 14.020(3), the agent's street address must be staffed during normal business hours by the agent or an authorized adult, unless the address is the agent's home residence. Your address goes on the public record, the Secretary of State's default and revocation notices are sent to you, and NRS 86.241 lets the LLC keep its member list, articles, and operating agreement with a custodian whose name and address are available at the registered office. Most out-of-state owners of a Nevada LLC pay a commercial agent instead.

No for a PO box alone. NRS 77.300 requires an actual street address or rural route box number in Nevada, with a Nevada mailing address only if it differs. A virtual mailbox at a street address has a second problem: NRS 14.020(3) requires the address to be staffed during normal business hours by the agent or someone authorized to accept process, and a mail-scanning service is not the agent unless it is itself serving as one. If the address is not staffed, NRS 14.030 lets a plaintiff serve the Secretary of State instead.

$60. NRS 77.280(1)(a) sets the fee for a statement of change, and the Secretary of State's LLC forms list the Statement of Change of Registered Agent by Represented Entity under NRS 77.340. It takes effect on filing, and members or managers do not have to approve it (NRS 77.340(2) and (4)). That is the highest change fee among the states on this desk. Northwest says it files the change for new clients and pays the state filing fee when it is appointed.

$350 for a typical LLC: the $150 annual list of managers or managing members (NRS 86.263) plus the $200 state business license renewal, which is due with the list (NRS 76.130). The list is due by the last day of the anniversary month. Late adds a $75 default penalty and a $100 license penalty, which makes a late year $525. Those are state dollars, separate from any agent's fee.

The agent files a statement of resignation ($100 for the first entity under NRS 77.280) and notifies the LLC. It takes effect on the 31st day after filing or when a new agent is appointed, whichever comes first (NRS 77.370). NRS 86.251 then puts the burden on the LLC: file a statement of change before that effective date, or the LLC is deemed in default. Default notices are sent to the registered agent (NRS 86.274(1)), and the charter is revoked on the first day of the first anniversary of the month after the missed filing. Reinstatement under NRS 86.276 costs $300 plus every missed list fee and penalty.
