From Nebraska to New Jersey, step by step

Order the Nebraska certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50) is ordered from Nebraska separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. It comes as a short form ($6.50) or a long form ($10). New Jersey wants the Nebraska certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your New Jersey 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 New Jersey filing. Once New Jersey approves it, the Nebraska company can do business there.

Your Nebraska name and New Jersey's rules

New Jersey accepts your Nebraska name if it includes LTD Liability Co., LTD Liability Company, Limited Liability Co., Limited Liability Company or L.L.C.. If another New Jersey company uses the Nebraska name, an alternate name is allowed. We search New Jersey's records for Nebraska's name on file before anything is filed.

Your New Jersey agent and the Nebraska one

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

Yearly filings: New Jersey and Nebraska

Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($25); New Jersey wants the Annual Report every year ($75). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Nebraska to New Jersey

A corporation formed in Nebraska files its own registration with New Jersey ($100 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50)). After that come Nebraska's Biennial Report ($26) and New Jersey's Annual Report ($75). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New Jersey into Nebraska

An LLC formed in New Jersey that registers with Nebraska files Nebraska's registration (no form number) with $110 in state fees, plus the Standing Certificate ($50). See that filing.

Common questions: Nebraska to New Jersey

Does my Nebraska company need to register in New Jersey?

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

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

$299 at checkout plus $6.50 to Nebraska for the Certificate of Good Standing, $305.50 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Nebraska's certificate of good standing?

Yes: New Jersey wants it ($6.50), current at filing.

How long does the New Jersey registration take?

8.5 business hours with New Jersey's paid expedite; Nebraska's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing. Paid expedite: $25.

What are the yearly costs for Nebraska and New Jersey?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Nebraska's report ($25, every two years) and New Jersey's report ($75).

What if I don't register with New Jersey?

A Nebraska company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and New Jersey can add up to $200 for each year or part of a year.

Does New Jersey require a registered agent?

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

Will New Jersey 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. New Jersey names must include LTD Liability Co., LTD Liability Company, Limited Liability Co., Limited Liability Company or L.L.C..

Can I form a new New Jersey LLC instead?

Yes, but Nebraska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Jersey's Annual Report ($75), and the original keeps Nebraska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from New Jersey later?

Nebraska companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation for a foreign LLC; until then, New Jersey's report stays due alongside Nebraska's filings.
