How Georgia companies register with Nebraska

Order the Georgia certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Georgia separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the Georgia 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 Georgia name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Georgia delays the Nebraska filing. After approval, your Georgia corporation is registered with Nebraska.

Your Georgia name and Nebraska's rules

If Nebraska's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Georgia company. We search Nebraska's records for Georgia's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Nebraska agent and the Georgia one

Nebraska calls it an agent for service of process; Georgia says registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Georgia; ours takes Nebraska's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Nebraska and Georgia

Georgia wants the Annual Registration every year ($60); Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($52). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Georgia to Nebraska

An LLC formed in Georgia files its own registration with Nebraska ($110 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Georgia's Annual Registration ($60) and Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25). See the LLC filing.

Questions Georgia owners ask about Nebraska

Does my Georgia company need to register in Nebraska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register a Georgia corporation in Nebraska?

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

Do I need Georgia's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Georgia and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), Georgia's report ($60) and Nebraska's report ($52, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

A Georgia 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 Georgia registered agent stays, and ours covers Nebraska for year one.

Will Nebraska accept my Georgia name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

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