What is Certificate of Amendment (Change of Domestic Registered Agent/Office) – Nebraska?
The Certificate of Amendment (Change of Domestic Registered Agent/Office) is the Nebraska Secretary of State form that a domestic limited partnership signs to amend its certificate of limited partnership and change its registered agent, its registered office, or both.
The printed heading reads "Certificate of Amendment (Domestic Change of Registered Agent and/or Office)". The form is built around a before-and-after comparison. You give the name of the limited partnership and the date its certificate of limited partnership was filed, then the previous registered agent and registered office, then the new registered agent and registered office. The form adds a rule for the new entry: the street address of the registered office and the street address of the registered agent must be identical.
The form cites Neb. Rev. Stat. §67-241 and carries the revision date 10/12/2022. It is signed by a general partner, whose printed name also appears on the form. A filing fee applies, and the form marks it as the in-office fee.
This form covers only a change of registered agent or registered office. In the Secretary of State's table of domestic limited partnership filings it sits next to a separate Certificate of Amendment, the Agent's Statement of Resignation and the Certificate of Domestic Limited Partnership. Foreign limited partnerships have their own filing, Certificate of Correction (Change of Foreign Registered Agent/Office).
Who needs to file Certificate of Amendment (Change of Domestic Registered Agent/Office) – Nebraska?

Common mistakes to avoid
- Entering a registered office street address that differs from the registered agent's street address; the form says the two must be identical.
- Using this form for a foreign limited partnership, when the Secretary of State lists a separate filing for changing a foreign registered agent or office.
- Using it for an amendment that is not a change of registered agent or office; the agency lists a separate Certificate of Amendment for other changes.
- Leaving out the date the certificate of limited partnership was filed, which the form asks for next to the partnership's name.
- Filling in only the new registered agent and office and skipping the previous agent and office, both of which the form asks for.
- Omitting the ZIP code on the new registered office; the New section has a Zip entry.
- Sending the form without the general partner's signature, printed name and date.
- Assuming the form can be filed through eDelivery; the agency's table shows no eDelivery link for this certificate.
