FAQ
Where can I find all current Nebraska Secretary of State business forms?
Current business-entity forms are organized on the Forms and Fee Information page.
That page groups filings by entity family and also identifies which filings may be submitted through the online system.
Is the registered agent consent form required to be filed with the Nebraska Secretary of State?
Nebraska does not use a separate statewide registered-agent consent form for the filing families covered here.
Consent is embedded in the corporation and nonprofit change forms when a new agent is appointed, and the agent designation is otherwise made inside the formation, authority, qualification, or amendment filing itself.
What form is used to change a registered agent in Nebraska?
The entity uses the change form assigned to its filing family, including the corporation, nonprofit, LLC, partnership, protected-series, and limited-cooperative-association forms listed above.
Corporate and LLC change filings that are marked for online filing may be submitted through Corporate & Business Document eDelivery, and paper filings may be mailed to P.O. Box 94608, Lincoln, NE 68509-4608 or delivered in person to 1201 N Street, Suite 120, Lincoln, NE 68508.
Business Services phone: (402) 471-4079. Business Services email: sos.corp@nebraska.gov.
What is the difference between the entity-filed change form and the agent-filed change form in Nebraska?
The entity-filed form changes the appointment record for one named entity and is signed by the entity or other authorized filer.
Nebraska also lists agent-filed change filings on its official forms page, including Agent’s Statement of Change of Registered Office and Agent’s Statement of Change of Address, which are used when the agent updates its own office or address across represented entities.
Is there a fee to form a nonprofit corporation in Nebraska?
Yes. The domestic nonprofit Articles of Incorporation filing fee is $30 in office or $25 online, while the domestic for-profit corporate Articles of Incorporation and Domestication filing fee is $110 in office or $100 online.
What forms are used to register an out-of-state LLC in Nebraska?
A foreign LLC registers with Application for Certificate of Authority Foreign Limited Liability Company.
The filing requires the Nebraska registered agent name and Nebraska registered-agent address, and the fee is $110 in office or $100 online plus a $10 certificate charge.
What forms are used to form or register a partnership in Nebraska?
A domestic limited partnership uses Certificate of Domestic Limited Partnership, and that filing creates the Nebraska limited partnership and requires the Nebraska registered agent and registered office.
A foreign limited partnership uses Registration of Foreign Limited Partnership to Transact Business, and the fee is $110 plus a $10 certificate charge.
A domestic or foreign LLP uses Statement of Qualification as a Limited Liability Partnership, and that filing registers limited-liability status for the partnership named in the filing rather than creating a new limited partnership.
Nebraska’s official forms page consulted here does not show a separate LLLP registration form in the business-entity groups covered above.
Can I file Nebraska SOS forms online?
Nebraska’s online filing system is described on the Corporate and Business eDelivery page.
The official instructions state that a signed PDF must be uploaded for filings submitted through the online system, and the registered-agent update instructions state that online filing is not available for partnerships, series LLCs, or limited cooperative associations.
