A Nevada LLC that misses its annual list is in default and owes a $75 penalty (NRS 86.272). If it stays in default, its charter is revoked on the first day of the first anniversary of the month after the list was due (NRS 86.274). To reinstate, the company files the missing lists, current agent information and a declaration, and pays the list fees and penalties for each year plus $300 (NRS 86.276). A charter revoked 5 consecutive years cannot be reinstated.

Default comes first
A company is in default the day after its list was due. Section 86.272 adds a $75 penalty. The Secretary of State notifies the registered agent, and the company can still cure by filing the list with the penalty and the license renewal with its $100 penalty.

Revocation date
Under NRS 86.274, a company still in default is revoked on the first day of the first anniversary of the month following the month the list was due. For a list due August 31, 2026, revocation is September 1, 2027. A revoked company loses its right to transact business.

What reinstatement requires
Section 86.276 requires the missing lists, the registered agent information, and a declaration under penalty of perjury that the reinstatement is authorized by the managers or managing members or a court. The company pays the list fee and penalty for each year in default and a $300 reinstatement fee, plus the business license fees and penalties.

The five-year wall
If a charter has been revoked for 5 consecutive years, it cannot be reinstated under section 86.276. Renewal or revival under NRS 86.580 has its own procedure. Act well before five years.
Source: NRS 76.100
Relation back
A reinstatement relates back to the date of forfeiture, so the company's right to transact business is treated as never interrupted. That matters for contracts signed while revoked.
Source: NRS 86.276
Corporations
Corporations reinstate under NRS 78.180 on the same model: missing lists, agent information, a declaration authorized by the board or a court, list fees and penalties for each year, and a $300 fee, plus the $500 license and its penalty for each year.
Cheaper fix
Fix it during default, before revocation, and you avoid the $300 reinstatement fee.
