Nebraska does not require member or manager names in its own public LLC filing. Nebraska's own Certificate of Organization already keeps member and manager names off the public record; a Wyoming parent here mainly adds stronger, non-foreclosable charging-order protection and puts a privacy-state entity behind the newspaper notice Nebraska requires.

Nebraska sits in a gray zone for privacy. Its Certificate of Organization, filed under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-117, never asks for a member or manager name — the LLC's name, designated office, and registered agent are all it collects, which keeps the state filing itself genuinely clean. What knocks Nebraska out of the true privacy tier is the newspaper publication requirement: every new LLC must publish a notice of organization for three consecutive weeks in a county legal newspaper under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-193. The notice doesn't print an owner's name, but it does announce the entity in public. Nebraska's charging-order statute is also weaker than Wyoming's, since it permits foreclosure on a member's interest in some circumstances — which is why owners who want both a clean filing and the strongest possible creditor shield often pair a Nebraska operating LLC with a Wyoming holding company above it.
Nebraska's Certificate of Organization, filed under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-117, asks only for the LLC's name, designated office, and registered agent — it doesn't ask you to declare member-managed or manager-managed status, and no member or manager name is ever collected on the form. That keeps Nebraska's own filing genuinely name-private. The qualifier is Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-193: every new LLC must publish a notice of organization in a county legal newspaper for three consecutive weeks. That notice carries only what's on the certificate, so it doesn't print an owner's name, but it does put the entity's existence on public display — part of why Nebraska isn't grouped with the handful of true privacy states like Wyoming or New Mexico.
Because Nebraska's Certificate of Organization never asks for a member or manager name, a Wyoming holding LLC sitting above a Nebraska entity doesn't close a disclosure gap Nebraska already has — it closes a different one. The county-newspaper publication notice that Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-193 requires still announces the entity's existence, tied to the registered agent's county, so owners who want the entity itself to trace back to a privacy jurisdiction rather than to a personally identifiable Nebraska filing typically name a Wyoming holding LLC as the member on the (non-public) operating agreement. Nebraska's charging-order statute (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-142) is also weaker than Wyoming's — it permits a court to foreclose and force a sale of a member's interest once distributions won't satisfy a judgment in a reasonable time — so a Wyoming parent adds real asset-protection strength on top of Nebraska's already-clean filing.
Nebraska not collecting member or manager names doesn't change federal law: beneficial owners of the Nebraska LLC — and of any Wyoming holding LLC above it — must still be reported to FinCEN under the Corporate Transparency Act, which is not open to public search.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-142 — exclusive remedy, but foreclosure is permitted once distributions won't satisfy the judgment in a reasonable time. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-142(g) makes the charging order the exclusive remedy a judgment creditor has against a member's interest, applying the same to single- and multi-member LLCs. But subsection (c) also lets a court foreclose the lien and order the interest sold if distributions won't satisfy the judgment within a reasonable time — a real, statute-based limitation rather than a court-invented one. That combination makes Nebraska's protection genuine but meaningfully weaker than Wyoming's no-foreclosure rule.
Nebraska charges no franchise tax and no LLC occupation tax. The recurring state filing is a biennial report (not annual) due to the Secretary of State by April 1 of every odd-numbered year, at $25 online ($30 on paper). Pass-through income is taxed to members at Nebraska's graduated personal income rates, topping out at 4.55% for 2026 and scheduled to fall to 3.99% in 2027.
Note: Nebraska's own site lists $100 for an online Certificate of Organization filing ($110 by mail, plus a $2 online processing fee) — confirm the exact current total directly at sos.nebraska.gov before relying on a specific figure. Whether member names ever appear in the biennial report itself, as opposed to the formation filing, is not fully confirmed from a primary source; apps/LLA/data/states/llc-search/ne.ts flags this same open question.
No. Nebraska's Certificate of Organization, under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-117, requires only the LLC's name, designated office, and registered agent — no member or manager name is ever collected on the form. Nebraska does separately require a three-week newspaper publication notice, but that notice carries only what's on the certificate, not an owner's name.
Nebraska's own filing already keeps member and manager names off the public record. The organizer who signs the Certificate of Organization is the one name that becomes public, so a formation service — not you — typically fills that role, and a Wyoming holding LLC is often used as the member on the (non-public) operating agreement for stronger charging-order protection.
No. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-142 labels the charging order the exclusive remedy, but the same statute lets a court foreclose the lien and order the interest sold once distributions won't satisfy the judgment within a reasonable time — something Wyoming's statute doesn't permit. This is a separate reason, beyond the newspaper notice, that owners often place the holding layer in Wyoming.
Bottom line: Nebraska's Certificate of Organization is already free of member and manager names — a Wyoming holding parent here mainly upgrades the weaker, foreclosure-permitting charging-order protection Nebraska's own statute provides.
