How Colorado companies register with Nebraska

Order the Colorado certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing (free) is ordered from Colorado separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the Colorado 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 Colorado name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Colorado delays the Nebraska filing. After approval, your Colorado LLC is registered with Nebraska.

Your Colorado name and Nebraska's rules

If another Nebraska company uses the Colorado name, an alternate name is allowed. We check your exact Colorado name against Nebraska's records before filing.

Your Nebraska agent and the Colorado one

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

Colorado wants the Periodic Report every year ($25); Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($25). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

Questions Colorado owners ask about Nebraska

Does my Colorado company need to register in Nebraska?

Yes, once a Colorado business operates there; Nebraska does not count a one-off deal finished within 30 days.

How much does the Nebraska registration cost?

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

Do I need Colorado's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Colorado and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), Colorado's report ($25) and Nebraska's report ($25, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

A Colorado company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Nebraska require a registered agent?

Yes: the Colorado registered agent stays, and ours covers Nebraska for year one.

Will Nebraska accept my Colorado name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska LLC instead?

Yes, but Colorado keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25), and the original keeps Colorado's Periodic Report.

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

Colorado companies leave by filing a Notice of Cancellation of Foreign Limited Liability Company Certificate of Authority; until then, Nebraska's report stays due alongside Colorado's filings.
