How Nebraska companies register with Vermont

Order the Nebraska certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50) is ordered from Nebraska separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. It comes as a short form ($6.50) or a long form ($10). Ordered from Nebraska on filing day, it easily meets Vermont's limit of 30 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Vermont registered agent, with your Nebraska name and formation date and the certificate attached. Nebraska issues the certificate instantly, so the Vermont filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Nebraska corporation is registered with Vermont.

Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($26); Vermont wants the Annual Report every year ($250). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Nebraska to Vermont

An LLC formed in Nebraska files its own registration with Vermont ($155 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50)). After that come Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25) and Vermont's Annual Report ($170). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Vermont into Nebraska

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

Questions Nebraska owners ask about Vermont

Does my Nebraska company need to register in Vermont?

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Vermont 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: Vermont wants it ($6.50), no more than 30 days old at filing.

How long does the Vermont registration take?

Vermont's online processing takes less than one business day; Nebraska's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing.

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and Vermont?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nebraska's report ($26, every two years) and Vermont's report ($250).

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

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

Will Vermont 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 Vermont corporation instead?

Yes, but Nebraska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($60), and the original keeps Nebraska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

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