How Nebraska companies register with Washington

Order the Nebraska certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50) is ordered from Nebraska separately; it is not part of our Washington order. It comes as a short form ($6.50) or a long form ($10). An instant Nebraska certificate reaches Washington only hours old, well inside the limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Washington registered agent, with your Nebraska name and formation date and the certificate attached. Nebraska issues the certificate instantly, so the Washington filing can go in the same day. Once Washington approves it, the Nebraska company can do business there.
