From Utah to Nebraska, step by step

Order the Utah certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($12) is ordered from Utah separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. It comes as a short form ($12) or a long form ($20). Nebraska wants the Utah 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 Utah name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Utah issues the certificate instantly, so the Nebraska filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Utah corporation is registered with Nebraska.

Common questions: Utah to Nebraska

Does my Utah company need to register in Nebraska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Nebraska registration cost?

$309 at checkout plus $12 to Utah for the Certificate of Existence, $321 in all (checkout is $110 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Utah's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Nebraska wants Utah's Certificate of Existence ($12), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Utah and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), Utah's report ($18) and Nebraska's report ($52, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

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

Will Nebraska accept my Utah name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

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