Alaska Corporation Foreign Registration in Nebraska

Nebraska registers a corporation from Alaska as a foreign corporation on an online registration (no form number), with $110 in state fees. Nebraska also wants Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10). We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division from your Alaska records, then serve as your agent for service of process there for year one.

From Alaska to Nebraska, step by step

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the Alaska certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Nebraska agent for service of process, next to your Alaska name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Allow for the days Alaska takes to send the certificate before the Nebraska filing goes in. Once Nebraska approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Will your Alaska name work for Nebraska?

Common questions: Alaska to Nebraska

Does my Alaska company need to register in Nebraska?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; Nebraska registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Nebraska issues one to Alaska corporations once the filing is approved.

How much does it cost to register an Alaska corporation in Nebraska?

$309 at checkout plus $10 to Alaska for the Certificate of Compliance, $319 in all (checkout is $110 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Nebraska wants Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Nebraska's report ($52, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

An Alaska company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Nebraska can add a penalty of $500 a day, up to $10,000 a year.

Does Nebraska require a registered agent?

Yes: the Alaska registered agent stays, and ours covers Nebraska for year one.

Will Nebraska accept my Alaska name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Alaska name at home.

Can I form a new Nebraska corporation instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nebraska's Biennial Report ($26), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

Alaska companies leave by filing a Certificate of Withdrawal to Transact Business in the State of Nebraska; until then, Nebraska's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
