How New Hampshire companies register with Nebraska

Order the New Hampshire certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($5) is ordered from New Hampshire separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. It comes as a short form ($5) or a long form ($10). Nebraska wants the New Hampshire certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Nebraska agent for service of process, with your New Hampshire name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once New Hampshire's certificate is in hand, Nebraska's filing goes in. After approval, your New Hampshire corporation is registered with Nebraska.

Your New Hampshire name and Nebraska's rules

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

Your Nebraska agent and the New Hampshire one

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

Common questions: New Hampshire to Nebraska

Does my New Hampshire company need to register in Nebraska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Nebraska issues one to New Hampshire corporations once the filing is approved.

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

$309 at checkout plus $5 to New Hampshire for the Certificate of Good Standing, $314 in all (checkout is $110 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need New Hampshire's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Nebraska wants it ($5), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for New Hampshire and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), New Hampshire's report ($100) and Nebraska's report ($52, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

A New Hampshire company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Nebraska can add a penalty of $500 a day, up to $10,000 a year.

Does Nebraska require a registered agent?

Yes: the New Hampshire registered agent stays, and ours covers Nebraska for year one.

Will Nebraska accept my New Hampshire name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its New Hampshire name at home.

Can I form a new Nebraska corporation instead?

Yes, but New Hampshire keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nebraska's Biennial Report ($26), and the original keeps New Hampshire's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

New Hampshire companies leave by filing a Certificate of Withdrawal to Transact Business in the State of Nebraska; until then, Nebraska's report stays due alongside New Hampshire's filings.
