All Nebraska LLCs must publish a Notice of Organization in a legal newspaper.
The newspaper must be near your LLC’s Designated Office
Must have general circulation
Must run the ad for 3 consecutive weeks
After publication, the newspaper will send you a Proof of Publication.
Important: You must file the Proof of Publication with the Nebraska Secretary of State.
Failure to do so could expose you to personal liability, as the LLC may not be treated as properly formed until the notice is published.
