Nebraska Notary Public Bond

The Nebraska Notary Public Bond - Agent Specific is a $15,000 surety bond required for individuals seeking appointment as a notary public in Nebraska through a designated agent. This bond serves as a financial guarantee that the notary will perform their duties in accordance with Nebraska state laws and regulations.

Notaries public who obtain their commission through an agent (rather than directly through the Secretary of State) must secure this bond as part of their licensing requirements. The bond protects the State of Nebraska and the general public from financial losses that may result from the notary's misconduct, negligence, or failure to properly perform notarial acts.

The bond provides $15,000 in coverage and remains in effect for a 4-year term, corresponding with the notary's commission period. The bond must be maintained continuously throughout the notary's term of office to ensure ongoing compliance with Nebraska notary laws. Upon expiration, the bond must be renewed if the notary seeks to continue their commission.
