Nebraska lesson 2 of 6
Appoint your Nebraska registered agent
Every Nebraska LLC must continuously maintain a registered agent with a physical Nebraska street address, named in the Certificate of Organization and kept current for as long as the LLC exists.
Who can serve
The registered agent must have a physical street address in Nebraska; a post office box alone does not qualify. The agent can be a Nebraska resident individual or a business entity authorized to transact business in Nebraska, including a commercial registered agent service.
Why the address matters beyond the agent's role
The registered agent receives service of process and official notices from the Secretary of State. In Nebraska, the designated office address also determines which local newspaper qualifies for the notice of organization publication required after formation, so choosing this address is worth thinking through before you file rather than after.
The registered agent's name and address are public information on the Secretary of State's business entity search.
Changing the agent
You can update the registered agent or registered office by filing a statement of change with the Secretary of State. File it promptly whenever the appointment changes rather than waiting for your next biennial report.
Key takeaways
- The registered agent needs a physical Nebraska street address, not a PO box.
- The registered office's location determines the qualifying newspaper for the publication requirement.
- Update the registered agent with the Secretary of State as soon as it changes.
