How New Jersey companies register with Nebraska

Order the New Jersey certificate
The Standing Certificate ($50) is ordered from New Jersey separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). Nebraska wants the New Jersey certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Nebraska agent for service of process, next to your New Jersey name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The New Jersey certificate comes first; then the Nebraska filing goes in. Once Nebraska approves it, the New Jersey company can do business there.

Your New Jersey name and Nebraska's rules

Agents: Nebraska and New Jersey

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

Staying in good standing in New Jersey and Nebraska

New Jersey wants the Annual Report every year ($75); Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($25). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, New Jersey to Nebraska

A corporation formed in New Jersey files its own registration with Nebraska ($110 in state fees, the same, plus the Standing Certificate ($25)). After that come New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and Nebraska's Biennial Report ($52). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Nebraska into New Jersey

An LLC formed in Nebraska that registers with New Jersey files New Jersey's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($6.50). See that filing.

Questions New Jersey owners ask about Nebraska

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

A New Jersey company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Nebraska require a registered agent?

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

Will Nebraska accept my New Jersey name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its New Jersey name at home.

Can I form a new Nebraska LLC instead?

Yes, but New Jersey keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25), and the original keeps New Jersey's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

New Jersey companies leave by filing a Notice of Cancellation of Foreign Limited Liability Company Certificate of Authority; until then, Nebraska's report stays due alongside New Jersey's filings.
