NV registered agent
Nevada registered agent service, $3.50 a year
Nevada requires every corporation and LLC on its books to keep a registered agent at a real address in the state. Here is what Nevada law says about who that agent has to be and where it has to be.
What Nevada requires of a registered agent
The requirement
Every Nevada corporation (and, in parallel provisions, every LLC) must have a registered agent who resides or is located in Nevada with a street address that serves as the registered office. Under the Model Registered Agents Act (NRS ch. 77), a noncommercial registered agent may be an individual or a domestic or foreign entity serving in the state, or the entity may designate the holder of an office or position within the entity (NRS 77.310(1)(b)(2)). Anyone serving as agent for 10 or more entities must register as a commercial registered agent (NRS 77.320(1)); commercial-agent registrants must attest to no unrestored felony convictions (NRS 77.320(2)(e)).
Every corporation must have a registered agent who resides or is located in this State. Notwithstanding the provisions of NRS 77.300, each registered agent must have a street address for receiving service of process, which is the registered office of the corporation in this State. If the registered agent is in the business of acting as a registered agent for more than one business entity, the physical street address of the registered office must be in a location for which such use is not prohibited by any local ordinance.

How we comply
We don't.
What Nevada does to your company when we don't
Here is what the state does to an entity that has no agent, or whose agent is us.
Civil penalty
A corporation that fails or refuses to comply with the registered agent/registered office requirement is subject to a fine of $100 to $500, recovered by the State through the Attorney General or district attorney.
Every corporation organized pursuant to this chapter which fails or refuses to comply with the requirements of this section is subject to a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500, to be recovered with costs by the State, before any court of competent jurisdiction, by action at law prosecuted by the Attorney General or by the district attorney of the county in which the action or proceeding to recover the fine is prosecuted.

And also
If the registered agent resigns or terminates and the corporation does not file a statement of change appointing a replacement before the effective date, the corporation is deemed in default and becomes subject to the default and charter-revocation provisions (NRS 78.170 and 78.175). The LLC act has the identical mechanism (NRS 86.251(2), invoking NRS 86.272 and 86.274).
A corporation that fails to comply with subsection 1 shall be deemed in default and is subject to the provisions of NRS 78.170 and 78.175.

Administrative dissolution
For a corporation left in default, the charter is revoked and the right to transact business forfeited on the first day of the first anniversary of the month following the month the filing was required; assets are then held in trust by the directors as for insolvent corporations.

And also
Name loss: if the corporation's name has been legally reserved or acquired by another entity during revocation, the corporation must reinstate under a different name (absent the other party's written consent).
if a corporation applies to reinstate or revive its charter but its name has been legally reserved or acquired by another artificial person ... the corporation shall in its application for reinstatement submit in writing to the Secretary of State some other name under which it desires its corporate existence to be reinstated or revived.

What happens to the lawsuit you never saw
Substituted service
The entity code cross-references the civil-practice chapter: process is served on the registered agent per NRS 14.020(2), and when the registered agent cannot be served, service is made in the manner provided in NRS 14.030 (Chapter 14 of NRS, outside this corpus). NRS 77.360(5)(a) likewise directs that after cancellation of a commercial agent's registration, 'until the entity appoints a new registered agent, service of process may be made in the manner provided by NRS 14.030.'
All legal process and any demand, notice or communication authorized by law to be served upon, or delivered to, a corporation may be served upon, or delivered to, the registered agent of the corporation in the manner provided in subsection 2 of NRS 14.020. If any demand, notice, communication or legal process, other than a summons and complaint, cannot be served upon, or delivered to, the registered agent, it may be served or delivered in the manner provided in NRS 14.030.
