From Nebraska to New Jersey, step by step

Order the Nebraska certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50) is ordered from Nebraska separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. It comes as a short form ($6.50) or a long form ($10). New Jersey wants the Nebraska certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your New Jersey registered agent, next to your Nebraska name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Nebraska issues the certificate instantly, so the New Jersey filing can go in the same day. Once New Jersey approves it, the Nebraska company can do business there.

Will your Nebraska name work for New Jersey?

If another New Jersey company uses the Nebraska name, an alternate name is allowed. We search New Jersey's records for Nebraska's name on file before anything is filed.

Your New Jersey agent and the Nebraska one

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

Yearly filings: New Jersey and Nebraska

Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($26); New Jersey wants the Annual Report every year ($75). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Nebraska to New Jersey

An LLC formed in Nebraska files its own registration with New Jersey ($100 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50)). After that come Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25) and New Jersey's Annual Report ($75). See the LLC filing.

The other way: New Jersey into Nebraska

A corporation formed in New Jersey that registers with Nebraska files Nebraska's registration (no form number) with $110 in state fees, plus the Standing Certificate ($25). See that filing.
