How to Change Your Registered Agent in Nebraska (2026)
To change your registered agent in Nebraska, file a Statement of Change of Designated Office, Registered Agent and/or Registered Agent's Address. File it with the Secretary of State. The fee is $25 online, or $30 by mail or in person.
Nebraska links this filing to a second requirement it calls the designated office. Update either one, or both, on the same form. The Quick Facts below cover the exact statute and mailing address.
This guide walks through what the form asks for. It covers how each filing channel works. It also covers who Nebraska will let you name as an agent.
Quick Summary
- Filing online is the cheaper of the two channels, and the only one where you can ask for faster, expedited handling by phone.
- Check your LLC's biennial report due date before filing separately. Filing it during that window updates the agent too.
- If you'd rather not track down a Nebraska street address yourself, a professional registered agent service already keeps one on file.

How to Change Your Nebraska Registered Agent
Nebraska's Statement of Change can update the designated office, the registered agent, or both. It all happens in one filing with the Secretary of State [1]. Every LLC has to keep both on file at all times, whether or not anything is changing [2].
You do not always need a standalone filing for this. Nebraska's Annual/Biennial Reporting page confirms the LLC biennial report asks for the same office and agent details. That information only has to be current as of the date you file the report [3].
Most owners still pick the dedicated Statement of Change form. The biennial report only comes around every other year. Three filing options sit below.
1. Changing Your Registered Agent Using a Professional Service
A Nebraska registered agent service can take this off your plate. Most already keep a Nebraska street address on file, which helps if you run the LLC from out of state and don't have one yourself.
The service still submits the Statement of Change to the Secretary of State for you, and you pay the state's own filing fee too, on top of whatever the service charges. Compare what's included before you commit. See the best registered agent services in Nebraska for a side-by-side look.

2. Changing Your Registered Agent Online
Nebraska's online channel is Corporate Document eDelivery. LLCs, corporations, and nonprofits can all file there. Partnerships, series LLCs, and limited cooperative associations cannot. They have to mail their filing instead.
Find the Statement of Change form for a limited liability company. It's on the Forms and Fee Information page. Fill in the fillable PDF, and have an authorized representative sign it. Scan the signed form, then upload it through eDelivery with the $25 fee.
Nebraska reviews most eDelivery filings within one to two business days of submission. Need it faster? Call the Business Services Division. Ask for expedited handling of an electronic filing [4].
3. Changing Your Registered Agent by Mail
Download the same Statement of Change form. Fill it out by hand or with a PDF editor. An authorized representative needs to sign before you send it in.
Mail the completed form. Include a $30 check or money order made out to the Nebraska Secretary of State. Send it to P.O. Box 94608, Lincoln, NE 68509. Mail also covers the few entity types that eDelivery won't take.
Who Can Be a Nebraska Registered Agent
Your registered agent can be a Nebraska resident. It can also be a domestic or foreign business entity, as long as that entity can transact business in the state. Either way, the agent's address has to match your LLC's designated office exactly.
A P.O. box will not cover either address by itself. The state's own change form asks for a street address first. It lists a post office box only as an optional add-on, never a substitute.
The agent's job stays narrow. Its only statutory duty is to accept service of process and other legal notices addressed to your company [5]. Nebraska law does not spell out fixed office hours. There's no set schedule the agent has to keep.
FAQs
What Does a Nebraska Registered Agent Change Cost?
A Nebraska registered agent change costs $25 through the online eDelivery system, or $30 if you mail the Statement of Change or file it in person.
Can I Be My Own Registered Agent in Nebraska?

What Happens if I Don't Keep My Nebraska Registered Agent Information Current?
Nebraska can administratively dissolve your LLC if your registered agent information lapses, since notices about required filings, including your biennial report, go to that address first.
Does Nebraska Require a Physical Street Address for a Registered Agent?
Yes, Nebraska requires a real street address for both the designated office and the registered agent, and a P.O. box only works as an added detail, never a replacement.
