Name Reservation

The state does allow you to reserve a name for a Nevada LLC, Corporation, Limited Partnership etc. The cost for doing this $25.00 if submitted on paper. If you would like to reserve the name online you may do at a cost of $50.00. This can be done right through the Nevada Sec. of State's website and you will receive confirmation of the reservation in a matter of minutes. If you would like us to reserve the name for you then please add $25.00 to the cost.

The name reservation is good for 90 days. If you do reserve the name then the name reservation paperwork needs to be included when you file the Articles or the State will reject your filing. If you decide to proceed with the name but are using someone as you Nominee Officer (or someone different then the person who reserved the name) you will need to fill out and submit a name release form.

If you are going to be filing your Articles of Incorporation/Organization in the next couple of days we recommend against obtaining a name reservation. It just adds more paperwork to your incorporation papers and increases the chances of something being wrong. Usually if the name is available today it will be available in 1-2 weeks when the State process's your Articles.
The times when I would think about reserving a name choice are:
1. The name choice is popular and just became available
2. You are not sure if you are/are not going to form the company
3. You really want to ensure that you have that name
