Who can serve

Nebraska Secretary of State says the registered agent may be a member of the entity, a designated third party who resides in Nebraska, or a corporation authorized to transact business in Nebraska. The agent’s office must be identical to the registered office.

The registered agent and registered office must be continuously maintained in Nebraska. A change requires the appropriate statement and fee.

What the registered agent does

The registered agent is not the same as:

Filing the Certificate of Organization
Publishing the Notice of Organization
Filing Proof of Publication
Writing the operating agreement
Getting an EIN
Registering Nebraska DOR tax accounts
Registering unemployment insurance
Filing local licenses

Privacy and reliability

If you act as your own registered agent, consider address privacy and availability. If you use a professional registered agent, review renewal fees, mail scanning, cancellation rules, and whether the service reminds you about biennial reports.

Keep the address current. Nebraska warns that failure to maintain a registered agent or office can contribute to administrative dissolution.
