From New Mexico to Nebraska, step by step

Order the New Mexico certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance ($50) is ordered from New Mexico separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the New Mexico 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 Mexico name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once New Mexico's certificate is in hand, Nebraska's filing goes in. Once Nebraska approves it, the New Mexico company can do business there.

Questions New Mexico owners ask about Nebraska

Does my New Mexico company need to register in Nebraska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Nebraska registration cost?

$309 at checkout plus $50 to New Mexico for the Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance, $359 in all (checkout is $110 in state fees plus our $199).

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

Yes: Nebraska wants it ($50), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for New Mexico and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), New Mexico's report ($25, every two years) and Nebraska's report ($52, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

A New Mexico 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 Mexico registered agent stays, and ours covers Nebraska for year one.

Will Nebraska accept my New Mexico name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

New Mexico 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 Mexico's filings.
