Data Availability

API access: US-NE is not yet part of the public countryCode enum. Contact us to enable it on your workspace. Requests sent with countryCode: "US-NE" will otherwise return 400 until the enum is expanded.

Data Sources

Nebraska uses a single integration against the Nebraska Secretary of State, Business Services Division, retrieved live from the public Corporate and Business Search portal at sos.nebraska.gov. The register covers every domestic and foreign entity filed under the Nebraska Revised Statutes: for-profit corporations (NRS Chapter 21, Nebraska Model Business Corporation Act), limited liability companies (NRS Chapter 21 Nebraska LLC Act), nonprofit corporations (NRS Chapter 21 Article 19), limited and general partnerships and limited liability partnerships (NRS Chapter 67), cooperatives (NRS Chapter 21 Article 27), state-chartered banks (NRS Chapter 8), and insurance companies (NRS Chapter 44). Each entity is assigned a numeric SOS Account Number that serves as the primary identifier across every lookup. The register includes both active and inactive entities and exposes the corporate officer roster (or member/manager roster for LLCs), the principal-office address, the registered agent with their service-of-process address, and the biennial-report filing history.

Verification-only. Nebraska does not publish a free open-data bulk extract of the business register, so all requests resolve live against the public portal. Unlike some other US states, there is no fast onboarding-mode path. Requests using mode: "onboarding" return a fast_source_unavailable error. Use mode: "verification" (or omit the mode to get the default).

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

Identifier Type	Format	Example	Notes
SOS Account Number	Numeric, 1 to 12 digits	`10214668`	Primary identifier assigned by the Nebraska Secretary of State, Business Services Division. Some entities have leading zeros preserved on the portal (e.g. `0527041`).

Pass the SOS Account Number exactly as the register assigns it. Use /v2/search first to retrieve the canonical identifier, then pass it to /v2/company. Searching by name or partial identifier is the supported discovery path.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier	Format	Example	Found In
`accountNumber`	Numeric string	`10214668`	All entities

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Pattern	Example	Match Type	Expected Results
By Name	3+ chars	`"Werner Enterprises"`	Starts-with (case-insensitive)	Multiple results
By SOS Account Number	Numeric	`1274939`	Exact	Single result (matchType: id)

Minimum length. Name searches must contain at least three characters. Searches that match too many entities are rejected by the register with a “too large” response. Use more specific query strings to narrow results.

Trade names and trademarks appear in search results. The Nebraska register includes Trade Name, Trademark, and Service Mark registrations alongside operating legal entities. These rows carry Entity Type of “Trade Name”, “Trademark”, or “Service Mark” and have no officer roster or registered agent. Filter by entity type if your flow requires operating legal entities only.

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
Verification mode only	Nebraska has no free open-data extract, so onboarding mode is not supported. All requests resolve live against the public portal. Expect longer response times than states with snapshot-backed onboarding paths.
Status is binary	The public portal exposes only two status values: `Active` and `Inactive`. Lifecycle sub-events (dissolution, withdrawal, reinstatement, revocation) are visible in the Filed Documents list on the entity detail page, not as separate status values.
Trade names appear in search results	Trade Name, Trademark, and Service Mark registrations are indexed alongside operating legal entities. These are name registrations, not legal persons; they carry no officers, no registered agent, and no shareholder ledger.
No shareholder or UBO register	Nebraska does not publish shareholders or beneficial owners for any entity type.
No activity codes	Industry classification codes (NAICS, NACE, ISIC) are not collected by the Nebraska business register.
LLC governance is member/manager-based	LLCs file Members and Managers rather than Presidents, Secretaries, and Treasurers. Member and Manager titles appear in `legalRepresentatives`; the registered agent appears in `otherKeyPersons`.
Officer titles are free-text	The portal surfaces officer positions as biennial-report-filed free-text strings. Common titles (President, Secretary, Treasurer, Director, Member, Manager) are normalized deterministically. The long tail is AI-inferred.
Biennial report cadence	Corporations and LLCs file biennial reports in odd-numbered years. Officer data reflects the most recent biennial filing. Entities that have not yet filed their current cycle report may carry stale officer data.

Mappings

Legal Forms

Legal form is read from the “Entity Type” field on each entity’s detail page. The Nebraska Secretary of State uses a closed vocabulary tied to the governing statute chapter.

All Nebraska entity types

NE Entity Type	English Name	Standardized	ISO 20275
Domestic Corp	Domestic Corporation	Corporation	`8888`
Foreign Corp	Foreign Corporation	Corporation	`8888`
Non Profit (Dom) Corp	Domestic Nonprofit Corporation	NonprofitOrganization	`8888`
Non Profit (For) Corp	Foreign Nonprofit Corporation	NonprofitOrganization	`8888`
Domestic LLC	Domestic Limited Liability Company	LimitedLiabilityCompany	`CWE5`
Foreign LLC	Foreign Limited Liability Company	LimitedLiabilityCompany	`CWE5`
Domestic LP	Domestic Limited Partnership	LimitedPartnership	`8888`
Foreign LP	Foreign Limited Partnership	LimitedPartnership	`8888`
Domestic LLP	Domestic Limited Liability Partnership	LimitedLiabilityPartnership	`8888`
Foreign LLP	Foreign Limited Liability Partnership	LimitedLiabilityPartnership	`8888`
Cooperative	Cooperative	Cooperative	`8888`
Bank	Bank	Corporation	`8888`
Insurance Company	Insurance Company	Corporation	`8888`
Trade Name	Trade Name / Fictitious Name	Other	N/A
Trademark	Trademark	Other	N/A
Service Mark	Service Mark	Other	N/A

Trade Name, Trademark, and Service Mark entries carry no ISO 20275 code. They are name registrations, not operating legal entities.

Officer Roles

The Nebraska portal surfaces officer positions as free-text “Corporation Position” or “Member Position” strings from each entity’s biennial-report filing. Common titles are normalized deterministically; the long tail is AI-inferred from the source string.

Common Position	Standardized	Appears In
President, CEO, Chairman	Director	`legalRepresentatives`
Vice President (all variants)	Director	`legalRepresentatives`
Treasurer, CFO	Treasurer	`legalRepresentatives`
Secretary	Secretary	`legalRepresentatives`
Other Chief Officer titles	Director	`legalRepresentatives`
Member, Managing Member, Manager	Director	`legalRepresentatives`
Director, Board Member, Trustee	BoardMember	`otherKeyPersons`
Registered Agent	RegisteredAgent	`otherKeyPersons`
Incorporator	Incorporator	`otherKeyPersons`
Organizer	Organizer	`otherKeyPersons`

The registered agent is returned in otherKeyPersons with their service-of-process address. It receives service of process and has no authority to bind the entity.

Company Status

The Nebraska public portal exposes exactly two status values. Lifecycle sub-classifications (dissolution, withdrawal, revocation, reinstatement, merger) are not surfaced as status variants; they appear as entries in the Filed Documents list.

NE Status	Active	Notes
Active	Yes	In good standing with the Nebraska Secretary of State
Inactive	No	Covers dissolved, forfeited, withdrawn, and suspended entities. The specific lifecycle event is recorded in the Filed Documents list.
