Nebraska Notary Bond

In Nebraska, state law mandates that every commissioned notary must obtain a $15,000 surety bond. This Nebraska notary bond acts as a financial safeguard for the public, providing compensation for any losses resulting from a notary's improper actions. It’s important to note that this bond is not insurance for the notary, but rather protection for the public. The bond is required for the full 4-year term of the notary's commission and must be filed with the state to officially activate the commission.

A Nebraska notary bond with a penal sum of $15,000 costs $200 and is valid for the entire 4-year term of your notary commission.
