Using Nebraska corporate search and the UCC/EFS center

Corporate and business entity search runs on Nebraska.gov (Secretary of State CGI). UCC and EFS search, filing, and document services have moved to the business.nebraska.gov system; the Secretary of State’s UCC/EFS Search and Filing Center page on sos.nebraska.gov explains accounts, fees, and links into that portal. Use the corporate search for entities and trade names; use the UCC hub and business.nebraska.gov for liens and financing statements.

SOS information

Nebraska business entities & Secretary of State workflows

Corporate and business entity search

Choose name starts with, keyword, sounds like, exact match, or account number as the form describes. Complete reCAPTCHA before you search. Nebraska.gov subscribers can sign in for additional options. Certificates of good standing and document images may be available for purchase; read the FAQ links on the search page for fees and delivery. True name availability requires a written request to the Secretary of State (email, fax, or mail) as the site instructs.

For corporate images or good standing questions, use the on-page FAQs or call Business Services at (402) 471-4079 when the site directs you there.

File or manage business registrations

Online filing and document delivery for corporate matters are linked from the Secretary of State Business Services section and Nebraska.gov corporate pages. Follow current forms and fee schedules before you submit payment.

Financing statements & lien search

UCC and EFS search and filing

The UCC/EFS Search and Filing Center summarizes the transition to business.nebraska.gov for logins, UCC and EFS searches, filings, and help PDFs. Paid name-style searches and free original document number searches are described with online costs on the official page. Most online filings require an account at business.nebraska.gov; a Frequent Payor Account is optional for deposit-based payments.

Tips if the site feels confusing

Corporate search on nebraska.gov is not the UCC system; UCC and EFS workflows live under business.nebraska.gov after you follow the Secretary of State UCC/EFS center links.
Name searches and document number searches can have different fees; read the fee table on the UCC/EFS center page before you check out.
For UCC search and filing help, the division lists (402) 471-4080 and UCC email contact on the official page; use those before unofficial guides.

Form a business

Starting a business in Nebraska

Entity search on this page helps you verify names and good standing. When you are ready to form a new LLC, corporation, or nonprofit, use the same next steps we link from Business Lookup: confirm the name on the official register, choose a structure with your CPA or attorney if needed, then file through the state agency (and plan for publication, registered agent, and any industry licenses that apply).

Typical state filing fees

These amounts can change when agencies update their fee schedules. Double-check the current fee list, forms, and deadlines on the official Nebraska business filing site yourself before you pay or submit anything.

LLC filing (state): $120
Corporation filing (state): $60
Publication / notice: Often required for LLCs; we model a range of $300-$500 (varies widely).
Ongoing reports: Biennial report (LLC): $26 when due (our first-year total omits biennial reports; five-year totals include them).
