What Is a Registered Agent in Nebraska?
A Nebraska registered agent is a person or company assigned to receive legal mail (like service of process) for your business. Registered agents provide an official and reliable way for the public to contact your business.
If your business gets served with a lawsuit, a process server will deliver the paperwork directly to your registered agent. At that point, your business is legally considered served. The registered agent should then forward you your mail quickly and securely.
Nebraska has the same registered agent requirements regardless of whether your business is a corporation, LLC, or non-profit. According to Nebraska state statute §21-113, registered agents must:
- Be a Nebraska resident or a person authorized to transact business in the state.
- Maintain a registered office (a physical address in Nebraska). No P.O. Boxes.
- Accept legal documents (service of process) during normal business hours.
At a minimum, your registered agent must list a physical address on the public record and be present at that address during business hours. But ideally, your registered agent should do more.
Can I be my own registered agent in Nebraska?
Yes, you can be your own registered agent in Nebraska. However, the requirements mean most business owners hire a registered agent service instead. Being your own registered agent may cost nothing, but the name and address of the registered agent for a Nebraska business becomes part of the public record. Additionally, a registered agent is required to be available to accept service of process during normal business hours five days a week.
Do I get a registered agent before or after I start my business in Nebraska?
Definitely 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 Registered Agent Center, you'll find all the forms and instructions you need to complete your filing instantly in your online account after you sign up.
How do I search for a registered agent in Nebraska?

How are registered agents served in Nebraska?
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.
