This guide is general information, not legal or tax advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship. It reports what each state publishes about filing deadlines, fees, and the consequences of missing them, with the sources this page cites. It cannot tell you what your own company owes: the date turns on when and where you formed, states change these rules between our reviews, and in several states an entity-level tax falls due in a year when no report does. Confirm your own dates with the filing office named on this page before you rely on one here, because the penalty for missing a deadline can be administrative dissolution of the company.

Yes, you can serve as your own registered agent in Nevada if you maintain a physical street address within the state and are available during standard business hours to receive legal documents and service of process. However, this arrangement carries significant practical implications. You must personally accept lawsuits, subpoenas, and government notices at your registered address, and any missed document could result in a default judgment against your LLC. Additionally, your home or business address becomes public record on Nevada Secretary of State filings, eliminating privacy protection. If you relocate out of state or your business circumstances change, you must file an amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State within 30 days using Form LLC-3A. Most Nevada LLC owners choose registered agent services ($100 to $300 annually) to ensure reliable document receipt, maintain address confidentiality, and avoid compliance risks. To proceed as your own agent, update your registered agent information by filing the appropriate amendment form with the Secretary of State's office in Carson City.
No, changing your registered agent won't affect your LLC's good standing status in Nevada, provided you maintain continuous registered agent coverage without gaps. The Nevada Secretary of State doesn't penalize LLC owners for agent changes. They only care that you've a qualified agent on file at all times.
To avoid jeopardizing your good standing, file Form LLC-4 (Change of Registered Agent or Principal Office Address) with the Nevada Secretary of State before your current agent's service ends. The filing fee is $75, and processing typically takes 5 to 7 business days. If there's a lapse in registered agent coverage, even one day, your LLC risks administrative dissolution and loss of good standing, which triggers penalties and complications with taxes and contracts.
Submit your Form LLC-4 online through the Secretary of State's website or by mail immediately after securing your new agent.
