From Vermont to Nebraska, step by step

Order the Vermont certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($25) is ordered from Vermont separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the Vermont 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 Vermont name and formation date and the certificate attached. Vermont issues the certificate instantly, so the Nebraska filing can go in the same day. Once Nebraska approves it, the Vermont company can do business there.

Common questions: Vermont to Nebraska

Does my Vermont company need to register in Nebraska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Nebraska registration cost?

$309 at checkout plus $25 to Vermont for the Certificate of Good Standing, $334 in all (checkout is $110 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Vermont's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Nebraska wants it ($25), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Vermont and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), Vermont's report ($60) and Nebraska's report ($52, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

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

Will Nebraska accept my Vermont name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

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