Everything you need to register a foreign LLC in Nevada.
The following activities are explicitly carved out by statute. On their own, they do not require a foreign LLC to register in Nevada.
Nevada's Limited-Liability Companies Act, codified at Chapter 86 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, lists activities at NRS 86.5483 ('Activities not constituting transaction of business'). The list applies for purposes of NRS 86.543 to 86.549 inclusive. Nevada-specific items in the list include production of motion pictures (subsection (k)) and out-of-state depository institution activity (subsection (l)). The previous citation to NRS 86.544 was incorrect (86.544 is the foreign LLC registration filing requirement, not safe harbors).
