From Virginia to Nebraska, step by step

Order the Virginia certificate
The Certificate of Fact of Existence/Registration ($6) is ordered from Virginia separately; it is not part of our Nebraska order. Nebraska wants the Virginia 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 Virginia name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Virginia delays the Nebraska filing. After approval, your Virginia LLC is registered with Nebraska.

Questions Virginia owners ask about Nebraska

Does my Virginia company need to register in Nebraska?

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

How much does the Nebraska registration cost?

$309 at checkout plus $6 to Virginia for the Certificate of Fact of Existence/Registration, $315 in all (checkout is $110 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Virginia's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Nebraska wants Virginia's Certificate of Fact of Existence/Registration ($6), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Virginia and Nebraska?

Our agent for service of process renewal ($149 a year), Virginia's report ($50) and Nebraska's report ($25, every two years).

What if I don't register with Nebraska?

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

Does Nebraska require a registered agent?

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

Will Nebraska accept my Virginia name?

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

Can I form a new Nebraska LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Nebraska later?

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