How New Mexico companies register with Nebraska

Order the New Mexico certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance is ordered from New Mexico separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the New Mexico certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Nebraska agent for service of process, with your New Mexico name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once New Mexico's certificate is in hand, Nebraska's filing goes in. After approval, your New Mexico LLC is registered with Nebraska.

Will your New Mexico name work for Nebraska?

Agents: Nebraska and New Mexico

Nebraska calls it an agent for service of process; New Mexico says registered agent. Nebraska papers come to us; New Mexico's agent is unchanged.

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

LLC or corporation, New Mexico to Nebraska

A corporation formed in New Mexico files its own registration with Nebraska ($110 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance ($50)). After that come New Mexico's Biennial Corporate Report ($25) and Nebraska's Biennial Report ($52). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Nebraska into New Mexico

Common questions: New Mexico to Nebraska

Does my New Mexico company need to register in Nebraska?

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

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

$309 at checkout, plus New Mexico's Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance.

Do I need New Mexico's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Nebraska wants it, current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for New Mexico and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), no New Mexico yearly report and Nebraska's report ($25, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

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

Does Nebraska require a registered agent?

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

Will Nebraska accept my New Mexico name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska LLC instead?

Yes, but New Mexico keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nebraska's Biennial Report ($25), and New Mexico has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

New Mexico 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 Mexico's filings.
