What is Notice of Cancellation of Protected Series Certificate of Authority – Nebraska?
The Notice of Cancellation of Protected Series Certificate of Authority is the Nebraska Secretary of State form on which a protected series states that it is no longer transacting business in Nebraska and wants to cancel its certificate of authority to transact business in the state.
The form is short. It asks for the name of the protected series, the state or jurisdiction under whose laws it is organized, an optional effective date if that date is other than the date the form is filed, and the signature and printed name of an authorized representative. It cites Neb. Rev. Stat. 21-161 and carries the revision date 07/01/2021.
It is the protected series version of a notice of cancellation. The Secretary of State's forms and fee page lists other filings with similar names for other kinds of entities, such as a Cancellation of Certificate of Authority or a Certificate of Cancellation; this page covers only the form titled for a protected series certificate of authority. The Secretary of State, Robert B. Evnen, is named on the form as the agency, with a P.O. Box 94608, Lincoln, NE 68509 address and the website www.sos.nebraska.gov.
Completing the form gives the agency written notice of the cancellation. The form itself prints a filing fee.
Who needs to file Notice of Cancellation of Protected Series Certificate of Authority – Nebraska?
A protected series that holds a certificate of authority to transact business in Nebraska and is no longer transacting business in the state uses this form to cancel that certificate. The form's own wording sets that condition: the company is no longer transacting business in the State of Nebraska and desires to cancel its certificate of authority.
An authorized representative of the protected series completes the form. The form asks for that person's signature and printed name, so the signer should be someone with authority to act for the series.
The form asks for the state or jurisdiction under whose laws the protected series is organized, so have that information ready.
Do not use this form for other filings. The Nebraska Secretary of State publishes separate forms for other entity types and other actions, for example filings for corporations, limited liability companies and limited partnerships, and a separate Statement of Protected Series Designation Cancellation and Statement of Protected Series Dissolution appear on the agency's fee page.
