| Firm license fee | $75 flat $75 non-refundable annual license per manufacturer, distributor or guarantor (NRS 587 cap is $75) |
|---|---|
| License late fee | $20 in addition to the $75 license fee if renewal submitted after Dec 31 |
| Tonnage note | No small-package exemption. $0.15/ton or $5 per quarter, whichever is greater; a licensee expecting ≤33 tons/quarter may pre-pay $20 for all four quarters. Report required every quarter even with zero sales; due within 15 days after quarter end (Mar 31, Jun 30, Sep 30, Dec 31). |
| Third-party filing | agent_account: “CertifyAg Feed Application Form (nv.certifyag.com/Feed/App.aspx → 'New License', public screen read 2026-10-08) has two separate blocks: 'Registrant Contact Information (Agency or Company): Registering Agency/Company Name * / Agent First and Last Name * / Address / Phone Number * / Email Address *' and then 'Company Information: Company Full Name * / Address / Nevada Business License # / Federal EIN Number *'. The portal thus has an explicit registering-agency role; there is no username/password — later logins use the 'CF Number' plus the 'Passcode that appears on your receipt' (receipt goes to the registrant-contact email). Attestation checkbox is impersonal ('the applicant affirms that the requested licensed products do not contain any form of industrial hemp…'), no officer signature.” |

Forms
No downloadable forms — this state files online only.
Good to know
- License-only state: no per-product registration or label pre-review; pet food is 'commercial feed' by definition (NRS 587.843).
- Tonnage report is mandatory every quarter even if nothing was sold; $20/yr prepay option covers a small brand's whole year.
- NDA will not license firms distributing feed containing industrial hemp; such licenses are revoked.
- No paper application found on the program page; the page links only to the CertifyAg online system.
