Unlike most states that allow you to make changes to your LLC’s information (like Registered Agent or Designated Office) via the Annual Report, Nebraska requires you to file what’s called a “Statement of Change of Designated Office, Registered Agent, and/or Registered Agent’s Address”. This is how you can make changes to the information on file about your Nebraska LLC.
Filing Method
You have two options for filing your Statement of Change:
File by mail:
The fee is $15. The state will process your Statement of Change within 3-4 business days (after they get it in the mail).
File online:
The fee is $17. The state will process your Statement of Change within 1-2 business days.
Approval:
After it’s been processed, the state will mail back a stamped and approved copy of your Statement of Change, along with a receipt. If you file online, they’ll send these by email.
Recommendation:
We recommend filing online if you’re comfortable with scanning PDF documents. If you’re not very “tech comfortable”, then we recommend filing by mail.
How This Works
File by mail: fill out form, place in envelope, include check or money order, then mail to the state.
File online: fill out form, save on computer, upload to state’s website, re-enter information online, pay with a credit or debit card.
Again, whether you file by mail or file online, the submission process is similar. You’re going to fill out the paper form of the Statement of Change. Then you’ll either place it in an envelope and mail it to the state, or you’ll scan it and upload it to their online portal.
So let’s first show you how to complete the Statement of Change…
How to Complete the Nebraska LLC Statement of Change
Download the Statement of Change form:
Statement of Change
Handwritten or typed:
You can fill the form out on your computer or you can print it and fill it out by hand. If you fill the form out by hand, use a blank pen. When printing, use regular white paper (8.5″ x 11″).
Name of Limited Liability Company:
Enter your complete Nebraska LLC name here.
Note: You cannot change your LLC name via the Statement of Change. Instead, you need to file what’s known as an Amended Certificate of Organization.
Current:
Current Designated Office:
Enter your LLC’s current Designated Office address on the first line.
The Designated Office address is your “official” Nebraska office location. This address must be located in Nebraska. It cannot be a PO Box. Sometimes this might be the same address as your Registered Agent, sometimes it’s a different address, such as a home or office.
Current Registered Agent and Agent’s Address:
Enter your current Registered Agent on the second line, and their address on the third line.
The Registered Agent’s address is the address where your Registered Agent in Nebraska is located. Your Registered Agent is responsible for receiving legal mail, known as Service of Process, in case your LLC is sued. This address must be a street address in Nebraska. It cannot be a PO Box.
New:
New Designated Office:
If you want to change your LLC’s Designated Office, check off the box to the left, then enter the new Designated Office address on the line provided. If you are not changing your Designated Office, then leave this blank and do not check off the box.
New Registered Agent:
If you want to change your LLC’s Registered Agent, check off the box to the left, then enter the name of the new Registered Agent on the line provided. If you are not changing your Registered Agent, leave this blank and do not check off the box.
New Agent’s Address:
If you want to change your current Registered Agent’s address, check off the box to the left, then enter your Registered Agent’s new address to the right. If you are not changing your Registered Agent’s address, leave this blank and do not check off the box.
Effective Date:
Leave this line blank if you want the changes to your LLC to be effective upon filing. This means the changes will take effect once the Statement of Change is received and processed by the Nebraska Secretary of State.
If you want the changes to be effective at a later date, then enter that date here. It cannot be more than 90 days out.
Signature of Authorized Person:
Sign your name on the first line, and then enter your first and last name on the second line.
Submit Statement of Change to the State:
You’re now ready to submit your Statement of Change to the state. Remember, you can file by mail or online. The mail filing is easier, and costs $15, but takes 3-4 business days to be processed. The online filing is more complicated, and costs $17, but takes 1-2 business days to be processed.
We’ll show you how to file both ways.

Prepare Payment:

Mail Documents:
Mail your completed Statement of Change (2 copies) along with your $15 filing fee to:
