Nebraska LLCs file a Biennial Report every two years. It is due between January 1 and April 1 of each odd-numbered year (delinquent as of June 16).
Publication: Notice of organization must be published for three successive weeks in a legal newspaper of general circulation near the LLC's designated office, and proof of publication must be filed with the Secretary of State (Neb. Rev. Stat. 21-193). Bills in 2025 and 2026 to change this rule were indefinitely postponed, so the newspaper requirement still applies.
Must include "limited liability company", "limited company", "L.L.C.", "LLC", "L.C." or "LC" ("Limited" may be abbreviated "Ltd." and "company" "Co."), and it must be distinguishable from names already on the Nebraska register.
- Formation documents can be submitted online through the Secretary of State's eDelivery service as a signed PDF, or by mail or in person.
- The statute treats an LLC's acts as valid once notice is later published and proof is filed, but the publication step is still required.
