How to register your Oregon LLC in Nevada

1

Check name availability in Nevada

Before filing, verify that your LLC name (or a distinguishable variation) is available in Nevada. If your exact name is already taken, you may need to register under a fictitious or assumed name.

Search the business name register on the Nevada Secretary of State website before you file.

2

Get a Certificate of Existence from Oregon

Nevada requires a Certificate of Existence from Oregon to prove your LLC is in good standing. The fee is $10. Available to order online. No expiration printed; foreign-state applications typically require dating within 30-90 days.

Activities that do NOT require registration in Nevada

  • Maintaining, defending, or settling any lawsuit or legal proceeding
  • Holding meetings of managers or members, or carrying on internal company affairs
  • Maintaining accounts at banks or credit unions
  • Maintaining an office or agency to transfer, exchange, or register the company's own securities, or keeping trustees or depositaries for them
  • Making sales through independent contractors
  • Soliciting or receiving orders outside Nevada through letters, catalogs, or other advertising, accepting them outside Nevada, and shipping the goods in
  • Creating or acquiring debt, mortgages, or security interests in real or personal property
  • Securing or collecting debts, or enforcing mortgages and security interests on the property backing them
  • Owning real or personal property, and nothing more

  • Operating as an out-of-state depository institution under Nevada's banking laws
  • Transacting business in interstate commerce

Under NRS 86.5483, all 13 items. Nevada's order-solicitation item is narrower than most: the orders must be solicited AND accepted outside Nevada and then filled by shipping in. Unique items cover motion picture production and out-of-state depository institutions. Subsection 3 withdraws the exemption entirely if the company maintains an office in Nevada. There is NO tax disclaimer; subsection 4 instead preserves personal jurisdiction and bars the company from offering its non-transacting status as a defense in other proceedings.
