In Nevada, what most states call an annual report is officially known as the Annual List. Specifically, corporations file the Annual List of Officers and Directors, while LLCs file the Annual List of Managers or Members.

This mandatory filing serves as the state's mechanism for maintaining current business information and ensuring regulatory compliance. Regularly filing your Annual List helps you maintain your entity's good standing with the Nevada Secretary of State and ensures continued access to the legal protections and benefits of your business structure.

The Annual List must be filed even if your business is not actively conducting operations, as long as it remains registered with the state. According to the Nevada SOS April report, there are 454,155 active registered businesses in Nevada, with 28,151 business renewals processed in April 2026 alone.

Who must file?

Most Title 7 business entities registered in Nevada are legally required to file an Annual List with the Secretary of State to maintain compliance and good standing status.

Required entities include:

• Domestic corporations, including close corporations under NRS Chapter 78A

• Domestic and foreign LLCs

• Foreign corporations qualified to do business in Nevada

• Nonprofit corporations under NRS Chapter 82

• Limited partnerships (LPs)

• Limited liability partnerships (LLPs)

• Limited liability limited partnerships (LLLPs)

• Business trusts and series entities under NRS Chapters 88A and 88B

• Any other Title 7 entity registered with the Nevada Secretary of State

Exemptions:

• Sole proprietors not registered with the Secretary of State

• Entities that have been voluntarily dissolved or officially withdrawn from Nevada

• General partnerships that do not file formation documents under Title 7

• Certain qualifying nonprofit organizations that hold a federal 501(c) exemption may be exempt from the state business license fee, but nonprofit corporations formed or registered under NRS Chapter 82 must still file an Annual List

Entities that have ceased operations but have not filed formal dissolution or termination documents remain obligated to file Annual Lists and pay associated fees.

The Annual List can be filed by authorized representatives on behalf of the entity. Authorized filers include officers, managers, members, general partners, or specifically authorized persons. Registered agents in Nevada may also file on behalf of the entity, as can attorneys or accountants acting on behalf of the entity and third-party compliance service providers with proper authorization.

Foreign entities registered in Nevada must file their Annual List in Nevada in addition to meeting compliance requirements in their home state and any other states where they are registered. Authority to transact business and the related annual filings under NRS Chapter 80 and the foreign LLC provisions of Chapter 86 are required in addition to home-state obligations.

How to file your Nevada annual list

Nevada offers multiple methods for filing your Annual List, with online filing through the SilverFlume portal being the most efficient and popular option. The Secretary of State has announced an upcoming Project ORION transition; based on current public information, no statutory changes to Annual List deadlines or fees have been announced as part of that transition.

Step-by-step online filing process:

1. Access the SilverFlume portal and log in or create an account

2. Locate your entity by searching with your Nevada entity number or business name

3. Review and update officer/director/manager details, addresses, and registered agent information

4. Complete payment by credit card, debit card, or e-check, then submit

You will receive immediate electronic acknowledgment and can download your filed report. Paper filings can be mailed to the Secretary of State with payment by check or money order. Entities claiming a State Business License exemption may need to follow separate procedures; consult the Secretary of State's current filing instructions for the appropriate workflow.

Due dates and deadlines

Nevada uses an anniversary-based filing system, meaning your Annual List deadline is tied to the date your entity was formed or qualified in the state.

The Annual List must be filed by the last day of your entity's anniversary month (the month your business was initially formed or qualified in Nevada).

You can file your Annual List up to 90 days before the due date. Per NRS § 78.150(9), if you file earlier than 90 days before your due date, the list is treated as an amendment for the prior year and does not satisfy the current year's requirement.

The statutes do not provide for an extension of Annual List deadlines; penalties accrue under the statutes if you file after the due date.

Filing fees

Nevada's Annual List filing requires payment of both the filing fee and, in most cases, a state business license renewal fee.

Nevada charges separate fees for the Annual List and the State Business License:

LLCs:

• $150 for the Annual List of Managers or Members (per NRS § 86.263)

• $200 for the State Business License renewal

• Total: $350

Corporations:

The corporation Annual List fee is a tiered fee based on the total value represented by authorized shares, not a flat amount. Per NRS § 78.150(4)(b):

• $500 for the State Business License renewal

LPs, LLPs, and LLLPs:

• $150 for the Annual List fee under their specific chapter

• $200 for the State Business License renewal

Nonprofit corporations:

• $50 for the Annual List (per NRS § 82.193)

• May be exempt from State Business License fee if they hold 501(c) status

Required information

Required information includes:

• Nevada Entity Number or Business Identification Number (NVID)

• Complete business name as registered in Nevada

• Current mailing address and principal place of business

• Registered agent name and complete Nevada address

• Contact information, including phone number and email address

Entity-specific requirements:

• Corporations: Names and addresses of all officers (president, secretary, treasurer) and directors; number of authorized shares and par value if applicable; a declaration of whether the corporation is publicly traded (if yes, the Central Index Key number); and a declaration of NRS Chapter 76 compliance under penalty of perjury

• LLCs: Names and addresses of all managers (manager-managed) or managing members (member-managed)

• Nonprofits: Board of directors information and confirmation of nonprofit status. Nonprofits that solicit charitable contributions in Nevada may have separate charitable registration obligations under state law; those obligations are distinct from the Annual List, though some information may be coordinated

• LPs/LLPs: Names and addresses of general partners or managing partners (limited partners are not listed on the Annual List)

Consequences of not filing

Missing your Nevada Annual List deadline triggers penalties that compound over time and vary by entity type.

For LLCs and corporations, a $75 late fee applies upon default, per NRS § 78.170(3) (corporations) and NRS § 86.272(3) (LLCs). Nonprofit corporations face a $50 late fee instead, under the default and penalty provisions of NRS Chapter 82. An additional $100 penalty applies to all entity types if the State Business License renewal is also late, per NRS § 76.130. Your entity enters "Default" status in public records, loses good standing, and becomes unable to obtain certificates needed for banking, contracts, and licensing.

Per NRS § 78.175(2), if you remain in default, Nevada will revoke your charter on the first day of the first anniversary of the month following the month in which the filing was required, approximately 13 months after the deadline. Your entity will show as "revoked" in the public record, and your name may eventually become available for other entities if you do not reinstate.

While revocation does not automatically void existing contracts, it can block certain activities. Under NRS Chapter 80 and the parallel foreign LLC provisions of Chapter 86, foreign entities may not commence or maintain court actions in Nevada while out of compliance, until they cure the default and pay all required fees.

Reinstatement (upon revocation) requires:

• Filing all missed Annual Lists

• Paying accumulated late fees for each year in default ($75 per year for corporations and LLCs; $50 per year for nonprofits)

• Paying accumulated business license penalties ($100 per year)

• Paying a $300 reinstatement fee for corporations and LLCs, or $100 for nonprofit corporations

The $300 reinstatement fee applies only upon formal revocation, not during the default-only period. The exact total due at reinstatement depends on how many years you have missed and your entity type; Nevada will only reinstate after all delinquent fees and penalties are paid.

Once you have caught up on all filings and fees, your entity's good standing is fully restored.

FAQs about Nevada's annual report

Below are answers to common questions about Nevada's Annual List filing process.

Do I need a good standing certificate after filing my documents?

Good standing certificates (officially called a Certificate of Existence in Nevada) are separate documents you can obtain after filing your Annual List. They are often required for banking, contracts, or licensing purposes and can be requested through SilverFlume. Your entity must be current on its Annual List and in non-default status before a certificate reflecting good standing can be issued.

Can I file my Annual List early or request an extension?

You can file your Annual List as early as 90 days before the due date. The statutes do not provide for an extension of Annual List deadlines, so penalties accrue under the statutes if you file after the due date. Filing more than 90 days early counts as an amendment for the prior year, not as the current year's filing.

What if I need to amend my Annual List after it has been filed?

You can file an amendment to correct errors in your Annual List. An amended list filed within 60 days of the initial filing incurs no additional fee per NRS § 78.150(5). An amendment filed outside the 60-day window costs $75. Review all information carefully before your initial submission.

Can I file multiple years at once?

No, Nevada requires an annual filing each year by your anniversary month deadline. Multi-year filing options are not available.
