$497 for Mainstay Filing, $397 for NE Registered Agent.org, $397 for Nebraska Registered Agent.co, not counting state fees.

What sources do you use?

Every state fee links to its official page, and every service price is read from the company's own site.

Is a service required by law?

Nothing requires a service. Consider it a paid convenience.

Do these companies handle the filing?

All of them do, and the state fee stays identical.

Which foreign registration service should I start with in Nebraska?

Mainstay Filing comes first: you pay $199 plus Nebraska's fee, get a free first registered agent year and then pay $149 a year. Next, NE Registered Agent.org and Nebraska Registered Agent.co.
