About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Nebraska requires a $15,000 bond before a notary can act anywhere in the state. Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 64-102, the bond is executed by an incorporated surety, approved by, and filed with the Secretary of State — and a commission runs four years under § 64-101.

The bond protects the public: if you make a notarial error that harms someone — a botched acknowledgment, a missed identity check — they can recover against the $15,000 bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. That's where the bundled E&O coverage earns its keep.

This package adds $15,000 of errors & omissions coverage on top of the bond. E&O is true insurance for you — it covers your own defense and liability for honest, unintentional notarial mistakes, so a good-faith slip doesn't come out of your pocket. The bond satisfies the state; the E&O protects you.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 64-102 (§ 64-101 term)Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 64-102, a general notary commission does not authorize the holder to act until a $15,000 bond, with an incorporated surety company as surety, has been executed, approved by, and filed in the office of the Secretary of State. Section 64-101 sets the commission term at four years. The E&O coverage is a separate, optional protection bundled with this package — not a state mandate.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Nebraska notary bond?The premium is $115, set by our carrier's rate book for this fixed $15,000 bond, and this package includes $15,000 of errors & omissions coverage at the same price. The $15,000 bond amount is set by statute, so there is no quote process.

What's the difference between the bond and the E&O?The $15,000 bond protects the public: if you make a notarial mistake that harms someone, they recover against the bond and you repay the surety. The E&O coverage protects you — it's insurance that covers your own liability and defense for honest mistakes, so a good-faith slip doesn't come out of your pocket.

How long does the commission last?A Nebraska notary commission runs four years (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 64-101). The bond must be on file before you can act; we send renewal notices ahead of expiration so your commission never lapses.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information at all — most notary bonds like this one approve instantly. If a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that never affects your credit score.

Where do I file it?With the Nebraska Secretary of State, along with your notary commission application. We issue the executed bond and E&O documentation ready to submit.
