How Wyoming companies register with Nebraska

Order the Wyoming certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing (free) is ordered from Wyoming separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the Wyoming 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 Wyoming name and formation date and the certificate attached. Wyoming issues the certificate instantly, so the Nebraska filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Wyoming corporation is registered with Nebraska.

Your Wyoming name and Nebraska's rules

If another Nebraska company uses the Wyoming name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Nebraska's records for Wyoming's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Nebraska agent and the Wyoming one

Nebraska calls it an agent for service of process; Wyoming says registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Wyoming; ours takes Nebraska's papers and notices.

Common questions: Wyoming to Nebraska

Does my Wyoming company need to register in Nebraska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Nebraska registration cost?

$309 at checkout, plus Wyoming's Certificate of Good Standing, which is free.

Do I need Wyoming's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Wyoming and Nebraska?

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

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

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

Will Nebraska accept my Wyoming name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

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