The Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 77, Model Registered Agents Act, defines the duties of a Nevada Registered Agent.

  A registered agent cannot perform financial transactions on behalf of the entity they represent if they know or should know that the entity engages in regulated business activities.

  A registered agent cannot produce or direct the production of material that is intended to deceive or defraud the public. 

Registered agents with 10 or more entities 

• These agents are considered commercial registered agents.

• They must register with the Nevada Secretary of State.

It's very simple.  Complete this form, you'll receive an agreement and invoice.

Because you don't want a process server chasing you down and announcing in public or at your place of business that you've been served with a lawsuit.

Your Nevada  Registered Agent is the party that usually receives service for lawsuits filed against your company.  Many business owners therefore consider it best practice to have that activity take place away from the place of business and customer interaction. 

If you know a lawsuit is coming, you can head off the stress of not knowing when papers will be served by having us inform the suing party or their process server that we will accept service for you.  This saves them effort too, reducing costs as well as removing what could otherwise be untimely or confrontational service of process.  

A typical annual base cost for a Nevada registered agent is between $100 and $300 per year, with most services falling within this range. Jonathan Warren offers a basic fee of only $2.99 per month, or $34 if paid annually.  The State of Nevada charges $60 filing fee for the change of registered agent we'll send in for you.
