Nebraska LLC Foreign Registration in Missouri

Missouri registers an LLC from Nebraska as a foreign LLC on Form LLC 4, with $105 in state fees. Missouri also wants Nebraska's Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50), dated within 60 days.

How Nebraska companies register with Missouri

Order the Nebraska certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50) is ordered from Nebraska separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. It comes as a short form ($6.50) or a long form ($10). Ordered from Nebraska on filing day, it easily meets Missouri's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form LLC 4
It names us as your Missouri 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 Missouri filing. Once Missouri approves it, the Nebraska company can do business there.

Your Nebraska name and Missouri's rules

We check your exact Nebraska name against Missouri's records before filing.

Your Missouri agent and the Nebraska one

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

Yearly filings: Missouri and Nebraska

Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($25); Missouri has no annual report for LLCs. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Nebraska to Missouri

A corporation formed in Nebraska files Form Corp 42 with Missouri ($155 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50)). After that come Nebraska's Biennial Report ($26) and Missouri's Corporate Registration Report ($15). See the corporation filing.

Registering a Missouri company in Nebraska

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

Common questions: Nebraska to Missouri

Does my Nebraska company need to register in Missouri?

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

$304 at checkout plus $6.50 to Nebraska for the Certificate of Good Standing, $310.50 in all (checkout is $105 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Nebraska's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Missouri wants it ($6.50), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and Missouri?

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

What if I don't register with Missouri?

A Nebraska company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Missouri can add a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Missouri require a registered agent?

Yes: the Nebraska agent for service of process stays, and ours covers Missouri for year one.

Can I form a new Missouri LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Missouri later?

Nebraska companies leave by filing a Cancellation of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, both the Missouri registration and Nebraska's filings stay in place.
