How Kansas companies register with Nebraska

Order the Kansas certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50) is ordered from Kansas separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the Kansas 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 Kansas name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once Kansas's certificate is in hand, Nebraska's filing goes in. After approval, your Kansas LLC is registered with Nebraska.

Your Kansas name and Nebraska's rules

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

Agents: Nebraska and Kansas

Nebraska calls it an agent for service of process; Kansas says resident agent. Nebraska papers come to us; Kansas's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Kansas and Nebraska

Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($90); Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($25). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Kansas to Nebraska

A corporation formed in Kansas files its own registration with Nebraska ($110 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50)). After that come Kansas's Business Entity Information Report and Nebraska's Biennial Report ($52). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Nebraska into Kansas

An LLC formed in Nebraska that registers with Kansas files Form FA with $115 in state fees; no Nebraska certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Kansas to Nebraska

Does my Kansas company need to register in Nebraska?

Yes, once a Kansas 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 $7.50 to Kansas for the Certificate of Good Standing, $316.50 in all (checkout is $110 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Kansas's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Nebraska wants it ($7.50), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Kansas and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), Kansas's report ($90, every two years) and Nebraska's report ($25, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

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

Does Nebraska require a registered agent?

Yes: the Kansas resident agent stays, and ours covers Nebraska for year one.

Will Nebraska accept my Kansas name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

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