Nebraska Foreign Registration / Biennial report
Nebraska biennial report dates and consequences for foreign LLCs
A foreign LLC in Nebraska files a biennial report in odd-numbered years, due by April 1, and the report is delinquent after June 16. A corporation reports in even-numbered years, due March 1.
Who reports when
| Entity | Report years | Due | Delinquent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Foreign LLC | Odd-numbered | April 1 | June 16 |
| Foreign nonprofit | Odd-numbered | April 1 | June 16 |
| Foreign corporation | Even-numbered | March 1 | April 15 |
| Limited liability partnership | Every year | April 1 | June 16 |
The LLC window
The window for LLCs runs from January 1 to April 1 of each odd-numbered year, and the first report is due in the earliest odd-numbered year following the grant. An LLC authorized in an odd year therefore waits two years for its first report, and one authorized in an even year waits one.
Filing it
Reports can be filed online during the reporting periods, using the links on the office's reporting page. The office sends a report notice, and it relies on the registered agent information on file to do so, which is why it urges entities to keep that information current.
What happens if it is late
After the delinquency date the company is administratively dissolved or its authority administratively revoked. The office says thousands of entities are dissolved each year for this reason. For the most recent batch the reinstatement page names June 17, 2025 for LLCs and nonprofits and April 16, 2026 for corporations.
A foreign LLC cannot reinstate
Foreign limited liability companies and voluntarily dissolved entities cannot file for reinstatement. A revoked foreign LLC qualifies again through a fresh certificate-of-authority application filed online in eDelivery. It will need a new original certificate of existence and a new fee.
A foreign corporation reinstates
A foreign corporation or nonprofit does file for reinstatement, with an application, a report and the fee, by mail or in person. Online filing is not available for it. The reinstatement application costs $30, and a late reinstatement for an entity inactive over 5 years costs $500, with past reports and interest possibly extra. Once processed, the status shows Active and a certificate of good standing can be ordered.
The corporation cycle
A foreign corporation reports in even-numbered years instead, with an occupation tax report that falls due March 1 and turns delinquent April 15. A limited liability partnership reports every year, and it can reinstate only within two years.
Nonprofits
A foreign nonprofit reports in the same odd-numbered years as an LLC, with April 1 as the due date and June 16 as the delinquency date.
Correcting a filed report
An LLC that needs to fix its principal office address on a filed biennial report files an amendment, one form and one fee for each report year, $30. It cannot change the agent or registered office on that form. For those, file the statement of change.
Consequences of dissolution
An entity that has been administratively dissolved continues its existence but may not carry on business except to wind up, may lose its limited liability status and its name, and cannot obtain a certificate of good standing. For a foreign LLC that means no Nebraska business until it qualifies again.
A reminder routine
Put the odd-year window in a calendar when you register, and assign a named person. Confirm the agent's details whenever you receive a change notice.
Items we do not cover
Income tax, sales tax and city licenses are different filings from the Secretary of State's reports.
Planning around the two-year rhythm
A two-year cycle is easy to forget. Because the window falls in odd years, set the reminder when you register and again at the start of each odd year.
Who files the report
An authorized person at the company files it, using the registered agent information on file as the starting point. If the principal office has moved, correct it with the report or with an amendment, and if the agent has changed, file the statement of change before the report.
