How Nebraska companies register with Pennsylvania

We prepare and file Form DSCB:15-412
It lists us as your Pennsylvania registered office, next to your Nebraska name and formation date. No Nebraska paperwork holds up the Pennsylvania filing. Once Pennsylvania approves it, the Nebraska company can do business there.

Will your Nebraska name work for Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania accepts your Nebraska name if it includes the word corporation, company, incorporated or limited, an abbreviation, the word association, fund or syndicate, or words of like import used in the home state. We check your exact Nebraska name against Pennsylvania's records before filing.

Agents: Pennsylvania and Nebraska

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

Staying in good standing in Nebraska and Pennsylvania

Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($26); Pennsylvania wants the Annual Report every year ($7). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Nebraska to Pennsylvania

An LLC formed in Nebraska files Form DSCB:15-412 with Pennsylvania ($250 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25) and Pennsylvania's Annual Report ($7). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Pennsylvania into Nebraska

A corporation formed in Pennsylvania that registers with Nebraska files Nebraska's registration (no form number) with $110 in state fees, plus the Subsistence Certificate ($40). See that filing.

Common questions: Nebraska to Pennsylvania

Does my Nebraska company need to register in Pennsylvania?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$449 at checkout, with nothing to pay Nebraska.

Do I need Nebraska's certificate of good standing?

No, Pennsylvania takes Form DSCB:15-412 without it.

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and Pennsylvania?

Our registered office renewal ($149 a year), Nebraska's report ($26, every two years) and Pennsylvania's report ($7).

Does Pennsylvania require a registered agent?

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

Will Pennsylvania accept my Nebraska name?

Yes, if no company there already uses it and it includes the word corporation, company, incorporated or limited, an abbreviation, the word association, fund or syndicate, or words of like import used in the home state.

Can I form a new Pennsylvania corporation instead?

Yes, but Nebraska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Pennsylvania's Annual Report ($7), and the original keeps Nebraska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Pennsylvania later?

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