What does Publication requirement mean?

So what do I do about it?

Phone a local newspaper and ask for a price, because rates vary and the state sets no single fee. Then read the state entries below to see the schedule, and pick a start date that leaves room for the notice.

Jot down three dates: formation filing, first day of the notice and the deadline for proof. Missing the last one is the most common slip.

How do states differ?

Only 3 states use this rule. Where it applies, expect extra weeks and a cost that no fee schedule puts as a single number, so allow for it before your first customer.

• Arizona: Publication: a notice runs three times within 60 days unless the statutory agent is in a county of more than 800,000 people, where the Commission posts it instead.
• Nebraska: Publication: a notice runs for three weeks in a local legal newspaper, then proof is filed for $25 online ($30 in office).
• New York: Publication: within 120 days, a notice runs for six weeks in two county newspapers (the papers set their own charges), then a Certificate of Publication is filed for $50.
