Ready to file your annual report?
Go directly to the Nevada Secretary of State portal.
Your Nevada LLC annual report is due by the last day of the anniversary month when you originally filed your LLC articles with the Nevada Secretary of State. For example, if you filed your LLC in March 2023, your report must be submitted by March 31, 2024. You'll file this report through the SilverFlume portal, Nevada's official online filing system. The filing fee is currently $150 for most LLCs, though certain qualifying businesses pay only $25. Missing this deadline triggers a $150 penalty and potential administrative dissolution of your business. This means you could lose your legal liability protection and ability to operate in Nevada. To avoid penalties, mark your LLC's anniversary month on your calendar now, then submit your annual report through SilverFlume at least one week before month's end to ensure timely processing.
You can access Nevada's SilverFlume portal by visiting the Nevada Secretary of State website (sos.nv.gov) and clicking the "Business Services" link, then selecting "SilverFlume Online Filing System." Create an account using your LLC's Nevada business identification number and EIN. Once logged in, you'll complete Form NV-4, Nevada's annual report form, which requires your LLC's current registered agent information, principal business address, and member/manager details. The filing fee is $350, payable by credit card or debit card through the portal. This annual report must be filed between January 1 and February 28 each year to maintain your LLC's active status—missing this deadline results in administrative dissolution. Filing electronically through SilverFlume costs $25 less than filing by mail. To begin, gather your LLC formation documents and visit sos.nv.gov to create your SilverFlume account today, ensuring your 2026 annual report is submitted well before the February 28 deadline.
Filing your Nevada annual report late triggers escalating penalties from the Nevada Secretary of State. For reports filed 1–90 days late, you'll pay a $100 penalty plus the standard $25 filing fee. Beyond 90 days late, the penalty increases to $500 plus the $25 fee. If your LLC remains non-compliant for more than two consecutive years, the Secretary of State will administratively dissolve your business, effectively terminating your legal entity and liability protection. This dissolution prevents you from conducting business, entering contracts, or maintaining your good standing status—issues that are difficult and expensive to reverse through reinstatement filings. The annual report itself must be filed between January 1 and February 28 each year using Form LLCs/Corps. To avoid penalties and dissolution risk, file your 2026 report by February 28, 2026, through the Nevada Secretary of State's online filing system or submit a paper form immediately if you haven't already filed.
Yes, Nevada requires all LLCs to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in the state at all times. You can serve as your own registered agent if you maintain a Nevada street address, hire a professional registered agent service (typically $100–$300 annually), or designate another Nevada resident or business entity. The registered agent receives all official correspondence, legal documents, and notices on behalf of your LLC. The Nevada Secretary of State uses the registered agent's address to serve lawsuits, tax notices, and compliance documents—if your agent is unreachable or the address is invalid, you may miss critical deadlines and face administrative dissolution. You must list your registered agent's name and address on Form LLC-1A when filing your Articles of Organization, and update this information immediately if your agent changes. Verify your registered agent's contact information remains current each year to maintain compliance.
