How Nebraska companies register with Pennsylvania

We prepare and file Form DSCB:15-412
It lists us as your Pennsylvania registered office, next to your Nebraska name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Nebraska first, so the Pennsylvania filing can go in right away. Once Pennsylvania approves it, the Nebraska company can do business there.

Your Nebraska name and Pennsylvania's rules

Pennsylvania accepts your Nebraska name if it includes the term company, limited or limited liability company, an abbreviation of one of those terms, or words of like import used in the home state. We check your exact Nebraska name against Pennsylvania's records before filing.

Your Pennsylvania agent and the Nebraska one

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

Yearly filings: Pennsylvania and Nebraska

Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($25); Pennsylvania wants the Annual Report every year ($7). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Nebraska to Pennsylvania

A corporation formed in Nebraska files Form DSCB:15-412 with Pennsylvania ($250 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Nebraska's Biennial Report ($26) and Pennsylvania's Annual Report ($7). See the corporation filing.

Registering a Pennsylvania company in Nebraska

Can I form a new Pennsylvania LLC instead?
