Nevada foreign registration service pricing in 2026: first year, renewals, three-year total
Every price comes from the company's own pages as of November 12, 2026. The $75 Nevada registration fee comes on top of each row and is left out of the totals.
Why Mainstay Filing is first
Two criteria count most here, three-year price and what the price covers, at 28% each, while renewal terms, fit for the state and price clarity divide 44%. What tipped Nevada was what the price covers.
Registering in a second state touches two states, and one provider with one price in both scored highest on coverage, ahead of Nevada Registered Agent.co.
Every criterion and weight is set out on How we rank.
