Key questions

Do I have to name a registered agent?

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

Legal basis: Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-113. (nebraskalegislature.gov, October 2026)

Who qualifies as an agent?

A Nebraska resident, which can be a member of the company, or a business authorized to do business in Nebraska.

If you meet the rule, you may name yourself and avoid paying an agent.

What will an agent cost each year?

Budget $99 to $149 each year, $297 to $447 for three years.

State fees stay put no matter the agent.

Why does the state require one?

It accepts lawsuits and official state mail for the LLC at an address in Nebraska.

A service is only as useful as its forwarding, so ask how documents reach you. More about service of process

What does the LLC owe the state every year?
