From Nebraska to Idaho, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Idaho registered agent, with your Nebraska name and formation date. If Idaho wants the Nebraska certificate, it is ordered first. Once Idaho approves it, the Nebraska company can do business there.

Will your Nebraska name work for Idaho?

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

Agents: Idaho and Nebraska

Idaho calls it a registered agent; Nebraska says agent for service of process. Idaho papers come to us; Nebraska's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Nebraska and Idaho

Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($26); Idaho wants the Annual Report every year (no fee). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Nebraska to Idaho

An LLC formed in Nebraska files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50)). After that come Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Idaho into Nebraska

A corporation formed in Idaho that registers with Nebraska files Nebraska's registration (no form number) with $110 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10). See that filing.

Common questions: Nebraska to Idaho

Does my Nebraska company need to register in Idaho?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

Idaho calls it registration for Nebraska corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

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

$302.50 at checkout; Idaho may also want Nebraska's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, plus time for Nebraska's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and Idaho?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nebraska's report ($26, every two years) and Idaho's report (no fee).

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

Yes: the Nebraska agent for service of process stays, and ours covers Idaho for year one, with a street address there.

Will Idaho accept my Nebraska name?

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

Can I form a new Idaho corporation instead?

Yes, but Nebraska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Nebraska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Nebraska companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement; until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Nebraska's filings.
