From Oklahoma to Nebraska, step by step

Order the Oklahoma certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($20) is ordered from Oklahoma separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the Oklahoma certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Nebraska agent for service of process, next to your Oklahoma name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once Oklahoma's certificate is in hand, Nebraska's filing goes in. After approval, your Oklahoma corporation is registered with Nebraska.

Will your Oklahoma name work for Nebraska?

Agents: Nebraska and Oklahoma

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

Staying in good standing in Oklahoma and Nebraska

Oklahoma has no annual report for corporations; Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($52). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Oklahoma to Nebraska

An LLC formed in Oklahoma files its own registration with Nebraska ($110 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($20)). After that come Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($26) and Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25). See the LLC filing.

Questions Oklahoma owners ask about Nebraska

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Nebraska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register an Oklahoma corporation in Nebraska?

$309 at checkout plus $20 to Oklahoma for the Certificate of Good Standing, $329 in all (checkout is $110 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oklahoma's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Nebraska wants it ($20), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), no Oklahoma yearly report and Nebraska's report ($52, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

An Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma registered agent stays, and ours covers Nebraska for year one.

Will Nebraska accept my Oklahoma name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska corporation instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nebraska's Biennial Report ($26), and Oklahoma has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

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