Nebraska Registered Agent

You’ll need to choose a registered agent before you form your Nebraska corporation or LLC. The Nebraska Secretary of State will not accept your business registration filing if you don’t list a registered agent.

When you hire Northwest, you’ll find all the forms and instructions you need to complete your filing instantly in your online account after you sign up.

• You can do a Nebraska business name search via the Nebraska Secretary of State.
• Type in the name of the company you want to serve or contact.
• In the results, you’ll find the registered agent’s name and registered office street address.

If you want to legally notify a Nebraska business through their registered agent, just send a certified letter directly to the registered agent at their registered office address.

Service on your registered agent is legal proof that you were notified. Regardless of whether you actually receive the documents your Nebraska registered agent signs for, once they accept the documents, you’ve been notified. This is a serious responsibility. This is how it works:

• A process server, the county sheriff, or any third party comes to the registered office and hands the registered agent documents (service of process), which the agent signs for.
• The process server then gives an affidavit (a receipt of service) to the court as confirmation that they served the business.

Note: If you’ve hired Northwest, you’ll receive your documents before the process server hands in their affidavit to the court, because we scanned them to your online account within minutes of being served.

There are many reasons to hire a professional Nebraska registered agent, including:

• Physical presence. If your business is web-based or doesn’t have a physical presence within Nebraska, it still needs a registered agent located in the state.
• Privacy. Many business owners don’t want their home or business address listed on public record as a point of contact, so they hire a registered agent.
• Reliability. When a process server hands a document to your registered agent, you’ve officially been served, whether or not the document reaches you in a timely manner. A professional registered agent can be trusted to deliver service of process promptly.

In Nebraska, to resign as a registered agent, you need to submit two exact copies of the Statement of Resignation of Registered Agent to the Nebraska Secretary of State’s Business Services Division. For a more detailed walk-through, you can refer to our guide on how to resign as a registered agent in Nebraska.
