More boxes to open

Do I still need an agent in my home state?

Most likely. Each state wants an agent of its own, and while a one-state service covers only one of them, Mainstay Filing covers every state.

What do the picks cost over three years?

Opened up over three years: Nevada Registered Agent.co at $397, Registered Agent NV.org at $397, Mainstay Filing at $497, services only.

Are the fees official?

Two kinds of source feed this page: Nevada's official documents for what the state charges, and company price pages for what services charge.

Do I have to use a service?

No. Owners can file with the state directly. A service saves time and can act as agent, but nothing makes you hire one.

Will a service file the registration for me?

Handled: submitting the registration is part of every pick's service, and the state's fee stays level.

Who tops the stack in Nevada?

Nevada Registered Agent.co is on top: registering costs $199 over the state fee, with the agent covered in year one, then $99 a year. Under it sit Registered Agent NV.org and Mainstay Filing.
