Reinstating a Dissolved Nebraska LLC
If your Nebraska LLC was administratively dissolved (typically for missing the Biennial Report), you can reinstate it — restoring active status. For all compliance tasks, see after-formation overview. For formation, see our LLC guide.
Why LLCs Get Dissolved in Nebraska
Most common: missed Biennial Report (due April 1, odd years, $13). After the due date, the Secretary of State sends notice, and continued non-compliance leads to administrative dissolution.
How to Reinstate
- File all overdue Biennial Reports ($13 each)
- Pay reinstatement fee (check sos.nebraska.gov for current fee)
- Ensure registered agent is current — designate a new one if needed
- File at sos.nebraska.gov or by mail

Get StartedUnder Nebraska law, reinstatement relates back to dissolution:
- LLC treated as if never dissolved
- Actions during dissolved period are validated
- Same filing number, same formation date
Cost
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| Reinstatement filing | Check current fee at sos.nebraska.gov |
| Each overdue Biennial Report | $13 each |
| Agent change (if needed) | Filing fee |
Example (dissolved for 4 years, missing 2 reports): 2 x $13 + reinstatement fee. Still cheaper than most states given the $13 biennial fee.
FAQ
Can I operate while dissolved?
Technically no — dissolved LLCs cannot conduct business or file lawsuits. Personal liability may apply during this period.
Is reinstatement better than forming new?
Usually yes. Reinstatement preserves your entity history, EIN, contracts, and avoids the complications of transferring everything to a new LLC.
