How New Jersey companies register with Nebraska

Order the New Jersey certificate
The Standing Certificate ($25) is ordered from New Jersey separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the New Jersey 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 Jersey name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once New Jersey's certificate is in hand, Nebraska's filing goes in. After approval, your New Jersey corporation is registered with Nebraska.

Will your New Jersey name work for Nebraska?

If another Nebraska company uses the New Jersey name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Nebraska's records for New Jersey's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Nebraska agent and the New Jersey one

Nebraska calls it an agent for service of process; New Jersey says registered agent. Nebraska papers come to us; New Jersey's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Nebraska and New Jersey

New Jersey wants the Annual Report every year ($75); Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($52). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, New Jersey to Nebraska

An LLC formed in New Jersey files its own registration with Nebraska ($110 in state fees, the same, plus the Standing Certificate ($50)). After that come New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Nebraska into New Jersey

A corporation formed in Nebraska that registers with New Jersey files New Jersey's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50). See that filing.

Will Nebraska accept my New Jersey name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska corporation instead?
