How Nebraska companies register with Idaho

Order the Nebraska certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50) is ordered from Nebraska separately; it is not part of our Idaho order. It comes as a short form ($6.50) or a long form ($10). Ordered from Nebraska on filing day, it easily meets Idaho's limit of 90 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Idaho registered agent, with your Nebraska name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Nebraska delays the Idaho filing. After approval, your Nebraska LLC is registered with Idaho.

Your Nebraska name and Idaho's rules

If Idaho's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Nebraska company. We search Idaho's records for Nebraska's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Idaho agent and the Nebraska one

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

Yearly filings: Idaho and Nebraska

Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($25); Idaho wants the Annual Report every year (no fee). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Nebraska to Idaho

A corporation formed in Nebraska files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same). After that come Nebraska's Biennial Report ($26) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Idaho into Nebraska

An LLC formed in Idaho that registers with Nebraska files Nebraska's registration (no form number) with $110 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10). See that filing.

Common questions: Nebraska to Idaho

Does my Nebraska company need to register in Idaho?

Yes, once a Nebraska business operates there; Idaho law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Idaho registration cost?

$302.50 at checkout plus $6.50 to Nebraska for the Certificate of Good Standing, $309 in all (checkout is $103.50 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Nebraska's certificate of good standing?

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

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing; Nebraska's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and Idaho?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nebraska's report ($25, every two years) and Idaho's report (no fee).

What if I don't register with Idaho?

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

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

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

Will Idaho 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.

Can I form a new Idaho LLC instead?

Yes, but Nebraska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Nebraska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Nebraska companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement ($20); until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Nebraska's filings.
