Texas LLC Foreign Registration in Nebraska

To do business in Nebraska, an LLC formed in Texas registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $110 in state fees. Nebraska also wants Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status ($15). We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services Division from your Texas records, then serve as your agent for service of process there for year one.

How Texas companies register with Nebraska

Order the Texas certificate
The Certificate of Fact - Status ($15) is ordered from Texas separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the Texas 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 Texas name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Texas issues the certificate instantly, so the Nebraska filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Texas LLC is registered with Nebraska.

Nebraska costs for Texas companies

Will your Texas name work for Nebraska?

If Nebraska's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Texas company. We search Nebraska's records for Texas's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Nebraska agent and the Texas one

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

Yearly filings: Nebraska and Texas

Texas wants the Public Information Report + Franchise Tax Report every year; Nebraska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($25). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Texas to Nebraska

A corporation formed in Texas files its own registration with Nebraska ($110 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Fact - Status ($15)). After that come Texas's Franchise Tax Report + Public Information Report (no fee) and Nebraska's Biennial Report ($52). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Nebraska into Texas

An LLC formed in Nebraska that registers with Texas files Form 304 with $767.13 in state fees and a $50 required expedite; no Nebraska certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Texas to Nebraska

Does my Texas company need to register in Nebraska?

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

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

$309 at checkout plus $15 to Texas for the Certificate of Fact - Status, $324 in all (checkout is $110 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Texas's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Nebraska wants Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status ($15), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Texas and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), Texas's report (fee set by the state) and Nebraska's report ($25, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

A Texas company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Nebraska require a registered agent?

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

Will Nebraska accept my Texas name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

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