How Nebraska companies register with Missouri

Order the Nebraska certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50) is ordered from Nebraska separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. It comes as a short form ($6.50) or a long form ($10). Ordered from Nebraska on filing day, it easily meets Missouri's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form Corp 42
It lists us as your Missouri registered agent, next to your Nebraska name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Nebraska issues the certificate instantly, so the Missouri filing can go in the same day. Once Missouri approves it, the Nebraska company can do business there.

Your Missouri agent and the Nebraska one

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

Staying in good standing in Nebraska and Missouri

Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($26); Missouri wants the Corporate Registration Report every two years ($15). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Nebraska to Missouri

An LLC formed in Nebraska files Form LLC 4 with Missouri ($105 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50)). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Missouri into Nebraska

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

Questions Nebraska owners ask about Missouri

Does my Nebraska company need to register in Missouri?

Yes, once a Nebraska business operates there; Missouri law lists 8 activities that do not count on their own.

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Missouri registration cost?

$354 at checkout plus $6.50 to Nebraska for the Certificate of Good Standing, $360.50 in all (checkout is $155 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Nebraska's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Missouri wants it ($6.50), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and Missouri?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nebraska's report ($26, every two years) and Missouri's report ($15, every two years).

What if I don't register with Missouri?

A Nebraska company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Missouri can add a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Missouri require a registered agent?

Yes: the Nebraska agent for service of process stays, and ours covers Missouri for year one.

Can I form a new Missouri corporation instead?

Yes, but Nebraska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Missouri's Corporate Registration Report ($15), and the original keeps Nebraska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Missouri later?

Nebraska companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Missouri's report stays due alongside Nebraska's filings.
