Missouri Corporation Foreign Registration in Nebraska

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

How Missouri companies register with Nebraska

Order the Missouri certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Missouri separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the Missouri certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Nebraska agent for service of process, with your Missouri name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Missouri certificate comes first; then the Nebraska filing goes in. Once Nebraska approves it, the Missouri company can do business there.

Your Missouri name and Nebraska's rules

If another Nebraska company uses the Missouri name, an alternate name is allowed. We check your exact Missouri name against Nebraska's records before filing.

Your Nebraska agent and the Missouri one

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

Yearly filings: Nebraska and Missouri

Missouri wants the Corporate Registration Report every two years ($15); Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($52). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

An LLC formed in Missouri files its own registration with Nebraska ($110 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($10)). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Nebraska into Missouri

A corporation formed in Nebraska that registers with Missouri files Form Corp 42 with $155 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Missouri to Nebraska

Does my Missouri company need to register in Nebraska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Nebraska registration cost?

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

Do I need Missouri's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Nebraska wants it ($10), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Missouri and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), Missouri's report ($15, every two years) and Nebraska's report ($52, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

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

Will Nebraska accept my Missouri name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

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