How Nebraska companies register with Utah

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Utah registered agent, with your Nebraska name and formation date. If Utah wants the Nebraska certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Nebraska corporation is registered with Utah.

Will your Nebraska name work for Utah?

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

Common questions: Nebraska to Utah

Does my Nebraska company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$258 at checkout; Utah may also want Nebraska's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and Utah?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nebraska's report ($26, every two years) and Utah's report ($18).

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah 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 Utah corporation instead?

Yes, but Nebraska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18), and the original keeps Nebraska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

Nebraska companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of a Foreign Profit or Non-Profit Corporation; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside Nebraska's filings.
