From Nebraska to Rhode Island, 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 Rhode Island order. It comes as a short form ($6.50) or a long form ($10). Rhode Island wants the Nebraska certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file Form 150
It lists us as your Rhode Island resident agent, next to your Nebraska name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Nebraska issues the certificate instantly, so the Rhode Island filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Nebraska corporation is registered with Rhode Island.

Your Rhode Island agent and the Nebraska one

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

Yearly filings: Rhode Island and Nebraska

Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($26); Rhode Island wants the Annual Report for a Corporation (Form 630) every year ($50). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Nebraska to Rhode Island

An LLC formed in Nebraska files Form 450 with Rhode Island ($156 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50)). After that come Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25) and Rhode Island's Annual Report for a Limited Liability Company (Form 632) ($50). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Rhode Island into Nebraska

A corporation formed in Rhode Island that registers with Nebraska files Nebraska's registration (no form number) with $110 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Status / Certificate of Good Standing ($22). See that filing.

Common questions: Nebraska to Rhode Island

Does my Nebraska company need to register in Rhode Island?

Yes, once a Nebraska business operates there; Rhode Island law lists 12 activities that do not count on their own.

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$518 at checkout plus $6.50 to Nebraska for the Certificate of Good Standing, $524.50 in all (checkout is $319 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Nebraska's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Rhode Island wants it ($6.50), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and Rhode Island?

Our resident agent renewal ($149 a year), Nebraska's report ($26, every two years) and Rhode Island's report ($50).

Does Rhode Island require a registered agent?

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

Will Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island corporation instead?

Yes, but Nebraska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Rhode Island's Annual Report for a Corporation (Form 630) ($50), and the original keeps Nebraska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Rhode Island later?

Nebraska companies leave by filing a Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Rhode Island's report stays due alongside Nebraska's filings.
