Form your American company in North Dakota.
Same desk, same prices, North Dakota’s own machinery. Filings here run through the Secretary of State — Business Division, and the state calls its agent a registered agent. What follows is North Dakota’s actual formation landscape.
The North Dakota facts
Your charter is filed with the Secretary of State — Business Division. The registered agent you appoint must be reachable at a physical North Dakota address during business hours — for founders abroad, that appointment is the whole reason a desk like this one exists. Under Sethhost, the registered agent of record is CorpNet, Incorporated, our disclosed wholesale partner, appointed at filing and named in your service agreement.
Keeping the company alive in North Dakota
The standing obligation in North Dakota is its annual report — due Nov 15 (LLCs) / Aug 1 (corporations) — $50 (LLC).
Inside Hosted, those dates sit on your compliance calendar from the day you form — set from your filing record, not a national average — and annual report filing service is part of the subscription where your state uses one. Reminders are best efforts and you remain responsible for your deadlines; that sentence is in the agreement, and it is on this page too.
How Sethhost serves North Dakota
Formation is prepared at your direction and confirmed by you before filing (Docket 01). The EIN runs through the IRS workflow for founders with or without a Social Security number (Docket 03). Official mail received by the agent is retrieved by our desk each business day and mirrored into your portal under the mail protocol — best efforts, in writing, with no timeframe promised upstream. A five-page website and a US number complete the visible half of the company (Docket 06).
Questions on North Dakota
How much does Sethhost charge in North Dakota?
The same as everywhere: Launch $499 one-time and Hosted $79 per month. North Dakota’s own LLC filing fee is $135 — separate, charged at cost, and itemized for your state at checkout before your filing is placed.
What does North Dakota call its registered agent?
The registered agent — and the filing office is the Secretary of State — Business Division. State terminology is not pedantry: the wrong term on a form is how filings get rejected.
Can I form in North Dakota from outside the US?
Yes — that is the standard case here. You choose the state; we never recommend one, because that is legal advice. Compare states on the coverage board and in the guides, then direct us.
