Rank #1 Our top pick

9.5 Editor score out of 10
$199 a year plus the state's fee, $624 due at checkout

Mainstay Filing leads the card: $199 a year takes in the formation filing, your registered agent and the annual list, with renewal at $199.

Each renewal includes Mainstay's filing of the Annual List of Managers or Managing Members and State Business License Application/Renewal. Nevada bills $350 every year for it, due last day of the LLC's anniversary month, and missing the date costs $175; Mainstay passes the state's fee along at cost.

Nevada LLC service cost in 2026: first year, renewal and the three-year tally

Service First year Second year Third year Three-year tally Annual List of Managers or Managing Members and State Business License Application/Renewal included
Mainstay Filing $199 $199 $199 $597 Yes
Registered Agent NV.org $199 $99 $99 $397 No
Nevada Registered Agent.co $199 $99 $99 $397 No

Each price comes from the company's own site, read on November 12, 2026. Add Nevada's $425 filing fee to each row; the tally above leaves it out.

The case for Mainstay Filing in first

The marking scheme gives 25% to cost across three years and 25% to coverage of the price, with renewal terms, state-by-state fit and pricing clarity sharing 50%. For Nevada, coverage of the price made the difference.

Nevada asks for a report each year at a $350 fee, and a late one adds $175. The Mainstay price covers that filing, while Registered Agent NV.org's leaves it to you, so the coverage points beat Registered Agent NV.org's cost advantage.

Every criterion and weight appears on How we rank.

The Articles of Organization carries a $425 fee at the Nevada Secretary of State. Every service here passes that fee through at cost, on top of its own price.

Keeping the Nevada LLC current

The Annual List of Managers or Managing Members and State Business License Application/Renewal arrives every year and is due last day of the LLC's anniversary month. It carries a $350 fee. Late filings add $175. Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
