Nebraska Registered Agent for Your LLC

Nebraska Registered Agent Requirements

• Every LLC, whether foreign or domestic, must have a Registered Agent with a registered office within the State of Nebraska at all times.
• The Registered Agent can be a domestic or foreign (licensed to transact business in the state) artificial legal entity (corporation, LLC, LP or LLP) or a natural person.
• If the Registered Agent is a company, they must be authorized to conduct business in Nebraska.
• If the Registered Agent is a person, they must live in Nebraska.
• The Registered Agent must be available in person to sign for any correspondence during regular business hours.
• The Registered Office must be located in the state of Nebraska at a street address (a P.O. Box is not acceptable)

This includes:

• State and federal government correspondence and notices
• Service of process notices (e.g., if your LLC is sued or required to appear in court)
• Correspondence from the NE SOS
• Tax forms and requests to complete permits, company filings and reports

• An always-available Nebraska Registered Agent to receive correspondence, documents and legal proceedings on your LLC’s behalf
• A digital dashboard where you can access any information we’ve received for your business
• Email notification whenever we receive documents on your behalf
• Automatic forwarding of all legal correspondence, documentation and information directly to you

If you don’t assign or provide a Registered Agent's details to the Secretary of State, you may be subject to certain ramifications, including but not limited to:

• Getting sued or served and not knowing about it. You could lose to a default judgment in your absence if your LLC is sued and you don’t respond.
• Losing your status as an LLC in the state. A Registered Agent is evidence to the state that your business exists. Without it, you could lose your business entity protections and your LLC may be dissolved.
• Falling out of good standing with the NE SOS. The state may revoke your right to do business if you don’t respond to certain correspondence (such as a request for your annual report).

• The Registered Agent must have a physical street address in Nebraska. If you’re forming an LLC outside the state, you’ll need to use an in-state Registered Agent.
• Someone must always be available during business hours at the Nebraska address to sign for important documents.
• The Registered Agent’s name and address are part of the public record and available through the NE SOS website. If you prefer to keep your name and address private, you should use a Registered Agent service.
• If you change your business address or move out of state, you need to file additional documentation with the Secretary of State for the new address. This won't be necessary if you use a Registered Agent service, making a move or address change much simpler.
