What the statute says
21-233. Registered office and registered agent. (MBCA 5.01) Each corporation must continuously maintain in this state: (1) A registered office that may be the same as any of its places of business
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-233, read 2026-10-21
A limited liability company shall designate and continuously maintain in this state: (1) an office, which need not be a place of its activity in this state; and (2) an agent for service of process.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-113, read 2026-09-29
A registered agent is the person or company the state and the courts send legal papers to. In Nebraska the statute calls this role the agent for service of process; it is the same thing as a registered agent. The agent must have a street address in Nebraska, not a PO box, and be available during business hours.
