Nebraska LLC Foreign Registration in Florida

To do business in Florida, an LLC formed in Nebraska registers there on Form CR2E027, with $125 in state fees. Florida also wants Nebraska's Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50), dated within 90 days. We file it with the Department of State, Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), Registration Section from your Nebraska records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Nebraska companies register with Florida

Order the Nebraska certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50) is ordered from Nebraska separately; it is not part of our Florida order. It comes as a short form ($6.50) or a long form ($10). An instant Nebraska certificate reaches Florida only hours old, well inside the limit of 90 days.
We prepare and file Form CR2E027
It lists us as your Florida registered agent, next to your Nebraska name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Nebraska delays the Florida filing. Once Florida approves it, the Nebraska company can do business there.

Will your Nebraska name work for Florida?

Florida accepts your Nebraska name if it includes Limited Liability Company, L.L.C. or LLC. If the Nebraska name already ends in LLC, it meets the rule. If Florida's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Nebraska company. Florida can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Agents: Florida and Nebraska

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

Common questions: Nebraska to Florida

Does my Nebraska company need to register in Florida?

Yes, once a Nebraska business operates there; Florida law lists 13 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Florida registration cost?

$324 at checkout plus $6.50 to Nebraska for the Certificate of Good Standing, $330.50 in all (checkout is $125 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Nebraska's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Florida wants it ($6.50), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and Florida?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nebraska's report ($25, every two years) and Florida's report ($138.75).

What if I don't register with Florida?

A Nebraska company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Florida can add a civil penalty of up to $1,000 and a fine of at least $500.

Does Florida require a registered agent?

Yes: the Nebraska agent for service of process stays, and ours covers Florida for year one, with a street address there.

Will Florida accept my Nebraska name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Nebraska name at home. Florida names must include Limited Liability Company, L.L.C. or LLC.

Can I form a new Florida LLC instead?

Yes, but Nebraska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Florida's Annual Report ($138.75), and the original keeps Nebraska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Florida later?

Nebraska companies leave by filing a Notice of Withdrawal of Certificate of Authority ($25); until then, Florida's report stays due alongside Nebraska's filings.
