Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about forming and maintaining your US LLC as an international founder.
Can non-US residents form a Nevada LLC?
Yes. Non-US residents and foreign nationals can form a Nevada LLC without visiting the US. eCorp Services handles the entire formation process remotely, including the registered agent requirement.
Do I need a Social Security Number (SSN) to get an EIN?
No. Foreign nationals without an SSN can obtain an EIN using IRS Form SS-4 submitted by mail or fax. eCorp Services handles this process as part of our formation packages.
What is a registered agent and why do I need one?
A registered agent is a person or company designated to receive official government and legal correspondence on behalf of your LLC. Nevada law requires every LLC to maintain a registered agent with a physical Nevada address. eCorp Services includes registered agent service with all plans.
How long does it take to form a Nevada LLC?
Standard processing (Starter plan) takes 2–3 weeks. Rush filing (Pro plan) takes 3–5 business days. Express filing (Premium plan) takes 1–3 business days. State processing times may vary.
What are the annual costs of maintaining a Nevada LLC?
Nevada LLCs pay an annual state filing fee (Initial List + State Business License = approximately $350/year after formation). eCorp's annual service fee covers your registered agent and compliance reminders. See our pricing page for the full breakdown.
Can I open a US bank account for my Nevada LLC remotely?
Yes, though it requires additional steps for non-residents. Options include Mercury, Relay, and Wise Business — all of which accept international founders with a valid EIN and formation documents. We guide clients through this process.
Does Nevada share LLC owner information with the IRS?
Nevada does not share business owner information with the IRS, offering a higher level of privacy than most other states. This makes Nevada a popular choice for entrepreneurs who value financial privacy.
