From Louisiana to Nebraska, step by step

Order the Louisiana certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($25) is ordered from Louisiana separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the Louisiana 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 Louisiana name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Louisiana's certificate is in hand, Nebraska's filing goes in. Once Nebraska approves it, the Louisiana company can do business there.

Will your Louisiana name work for Nebraska?

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

Your Nebraska agent and the Louisiana one

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

Yearly filings: Nebraska and Louisiana

Louisiana wants the Annual Report every year ($40); Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($25). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Louisiana to Nebraska

A corporation formed in Louisiana files its own registration with Nebraska ($110 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($25)). After that come Louisiana's Annual Report ($30) and Nebraska's Biennial Report ($52). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Nebraska into Louisiana

An LLC formed in Nebraska that registers with Louisiana files Form 972 with $190 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Louisiana owners ask about Nebraska

Does my Louisiana company need to register in Nebraska?

Yes, once a Louisiana 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 $25 to Louisiana for the Certificate of Good Standing, $334 in all (checkout is $110 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Louisiana's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Louisiana and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), Louisiana's report ($40) and Nebraska's report ($25, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

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

Does Nebraska require a registered agent?

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

Will Nebraska accept my Louisiana name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

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