§ 25-530.08.Company, firm, or unincorporated association; appointment of agent; execution on judgment; fees.

An out-of-state company doing business in Nebraska still has to be reachable in court, and Section 25-530.08 makes sure of that. A company, firm, or unincorporated association whose principal place of business or activity sits outside Nebraska, and that has no usual in-state place of business and no clerk or general agent here, must appoint one or more Nebraska agents before it is authorized to do business or conduct activities in the state.

Getting that authorization means filing a certified statement with the Secretary of State. The statement has to say the entity is doing business or conducting activities in Nebraska, describe the nature of that business or activity, and name the agent or agents in Nebraska on whom process and other legal notice can be served, for a five-dollar filing fee. If the agent or the entity’s street address changes, the entity has to file an updated statement, for a three-dollar fee.

The section also limits the consequences of a lawsuit against such an entity. Any execution on a judgment from a proceeding served this way can be levied only against the property of the company, firm, or association itself — not against other assets outside the reach the statute contemplates. One category is carved out entirely: domestic and foreign limited partnerships governed by the Nebraska Uniform Limited Partnership Act follow a different statute, not this one.
