Nevada Annual List of Officers: Deadlines, Fees, and Filing

Nevada’s annual list of officers is the yearly filing every entity registered with the Secretary of State must submit, naming its current officers, directors, or managers and paying a fee that runs from $50 for nonprofits to more than $11,000 for large corporations. It is bundled with the state business license renewal, and it is due by the last day of your entity’s anniversary month. Miss the deadline and penalties start at $75 for the late list plus $100 for the late license, with charter revocation following about a year later.

Who Has to File

If your entity is on the Secretary of State’s rolls, assume you file. Domestic corporations file under NRS 78.150.¹ Foreign corporations doing business in Nevada file under NRS 80.110.² Member-managed and manager-managed LLCs file under NRS 86.263.³ Domestic and foreign nonprofits file under NRS 82.523.⁴ Limited partnerships, business trusts, and professional corporations carry similar obligations. Exemptions from the filing itself are rare.

When the List Is Due

The annual list is due by the last day of your entity’s anniversary month — the month you originally filed your formation documents or qualified to do business in Nevada. Incorporated on March 15? Your list is due every year by March 31. The same anniversary-month rule applies to corporations, LLCs, nonprofits, and limited partnerships.

Your initial list is due when you first file your organizational documents. The annual cycle starts after that.

Shifting to a Different Month

Corporations can move the filing to a different month by submitting an election form to the Secretary of State. The new date must fall before your existing deadline, so you cannot use this to push the filing further into the future, and switching does not reduce or prorate any fees.⁵ It is useful when your anniversary lands on top of a fiscal year-end or another busy period.

What Goes on the List

Corporations must list the names and addresses of the president, secretary, treasurer (or their equivalents), and every director.¹ LLCs list every manager, or, if there are none, every managing member.³ Physical addresses are required; P.O. boxes will not do.

The list is bundled with the Nevada State Business License renewal, so you handle both in the same transaction. An authorized signer — usually an officer, manager, or registered agent — certifies the information. Before submitting, confirm your registered agent on file is still correct, and update officer and director names if leadership has changed rather than carrying over stale entries.

How Much It Costs

Corporations

The initial list is a flat $150. After that, corporations pay based on the total value of authorized shares stated in the articles of incorporation:¹

$75,000 or less: $150
Over $75,000 to $200,000: $200
Over $200,000 to $500,000: $300
Over $500,000 to $1,000,000: $400
Over $1,000,000: $400 for the first $1,000,000, plus $275 for each additional $500,000 or fraction of it

The cap is $11,125. Foreign corporations pay the same tiered rates under NRS 80.110.² Many small corporations with modest authorized capital pay $150 every year, which is why that figure gets repeated online, but the bill climbs quickly for entities with large authorized share values.

LLCs

LLCs pay a flat $150 for both the initial and each annual list.³ No tiers, no share calculation.

Nonprofits

Nonprofits pay $50 for each annual list.⁴

State Business License Added On

Most entities also pay the state business license fee in the same filing. Corporations, including foreign corporations, pay $500. Most other entities, LLCs included, pay $200.⁶

Some entities are exempt from the license fee entirely: nonprofit corporations organized under NRS Chapter 82, organizations qualifying for tax-exempt status under 26 U.S.C. § 501(c), government entities, and sole proprietors running a home-based business below a set income threshold.⁶ For a nonprofit, the total yearly cost is often just the $50 list fee.

How to File

The fastest route is SilverFlume, Nevada’s online business filing portal.⁷ Log in, confirm or update your officers, and pay by credit card. You get a digital confirmation and file-stamped copy as soon as the payment clears. Most filers finish in about ten minutes.

You can also mail a filing to the Secretary of State at 101 N. Carson Street, Suite 3, Carson City, NV 89701. Mail filings take longer, require a check for the exact amount, and get returned if anything is incomplete or illegible. By the time a rejected filing comes back, your deadline may have passed.

Expedited Processing

For a rush, three expedited tiers are available on top of the normal fees:⁸

24-hour processing: $125
2-hour processing: $500
1-hour processing: $1,000

Routine SilverFlume filings rarely need expediting. These are for reinstatements or urgent business deadlines.

If You Miss the Deadline

Default hits immediately. The late annual list penalty is $75.⁹ The late business license penalty is another $100.⁶ Both stack on top of the fees you already owed.

Ignore it long enough and the charter is revoked. On the first day of the first anniversary of the month following the month your filing was due, the entity loses its right to transact business in Nevada.¹⁰ A revoked entity cannot legally operate, enter contracts, or hold its name reservation. Roughly a year of inaction turns a penalty problem into a revocation problem.

Reinstating a Revoked Entity

Reinstatement is possible, but it is not cheap. You must file every delinquent annual list, pay every past-due fee and penalty for each missed year, and pay a separate $300 reinstatement fee.¹¹ You also submit a declaration under penalty of perjury that the reinstatement is authorized by either the board of directors or a Nevada court.

There is a hard cutoff. Once an entity has been revoked for five consecutive years, the charter cannot be reinstated.¹¹ At that point you would need to form a new entity, and the original name may or may not still be available.
