Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

1. If a foreign corporation cannot qualify to do business in this State because its name does not meet the requirements of NRS 80.010, it may apply for a certificate to do business by having its board of directors adopt a resolution setting forth the name under which the corporation elects to do business in this State. The resolution may:

(a) Add to the existing corporate name a word, abbreviation or other distinctive element; or

(b) Adopt a name different from its existing corporate name that is available for use in this State.

2. In addition to the records required by subsection 1 of NRS 80.010, the corporation shall file a resolution certifying the adoption of the modified name.

3. If the Secretary of State determines that the modified corporate name complies with the provisions of NRS 80.010, the Secretary of State shall issue the certificate in the foreign corporation's modified name if the foreign corporation otherwise qualifies to do business in this State.

4. A foreign corporation doing business in this State under a modified corporate name approved by the Secretary of State shall use the modified name in its dealings and communications with the Secretary of State.
