From Oregon to Nebraska, step by step

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the Oregon 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 Oregon name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Oregon delays the Nebraska filing. After approval, your Oregon corporation is registered with Nebraska.

Oregon wants the Annual Report every year ($100); Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($52). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

An LLC formed in Oregon files its own registration with Nebraska ($110 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25). See the LLC filing.

Questions Oregon owners ask about Nebraska

Does my Oregon company need to register in Nebraska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$309 at checkout plus $10 to Oregon for the Certificate of Existence, $319 in all (checkout is $110 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Nebraska wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Nebraska?

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

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

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

Will Nebraska accept my Oregon name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

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