From Missouri to Nebraska, step by step

Order the Missouri certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Missouri separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the Missouri 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 Missouri name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Missouri's certificate is in hand, Nebraska's filing goes in. After approval, your Missouri LLC is registered with Nebraska.

Your Missouri name and Nebraska's rules

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

Your Nebraska agent and the Missouri one

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

Staying in good standing in Missouri and Nebraska

Missouri has no annual report for LLCs; Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($25). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Missouri to Nebraska

A corporation formed in Missouri files its own registration with Nebraska ($110 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($10)). After that come Missouri's Corporate Registration Report ($15) and Nebraska's Biennial Report ($52). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Nebraska into Missouri

An LLC formed in Nebraska that registers with Missouri files Form LLC 4 with $105 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Missouri to Nebraska

Does my Missouri company need to register in Nebraska?

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

How much does it cost to register a Missouri LLC in Nebraska?

$309 at checkout plus $10 to Missouri for the Certificate of Good Standing, $319 in all (checkout is $110 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Missouri's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Nebraska wants it ($10), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Missouri and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), no Missouri yearly report and Nebraska's report ($25, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

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

Does Nebraska require a registered agent?

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

Will Nebraska accept my Missouri name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska LLC instead?

Yes, but Missouri keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25), and Missouri has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

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