NE process server bonds.
$450. Five minutes.

To serve process privately in Nebraska, § 25-507 requires you to furnish a $15,000 corporate surety bond to the clerk of the court. It isn't a statewide license — it's a court-filing requirement — and one bond covers you in any state court. Ours is $450 flat, and the application is five minutes.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Nebraska doesn't run a statewide process-server license. Instead, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-507 lets any qualifying private person serve process if they furnish a $15,000 corporate surety bond, conditioned on faithfully and truly performing the duties of process server. It's a court requirement, not a licensing-board one.

The bond is a public-protection guarantee: if you serve process improperly and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is not insurance for you.

The statute is efficient about it: you provide evidence of the bond to the clerk of each court where you serve, but you're not required to furnish more than one bond to serve process in any state court in Nebraska. One $15,000 bond carries you statewide.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-507Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-507, a private person may exercise process-server powers if not a party, relative, or interested person and if they furnish a good and sufficient corporate surety bond of $15,000, conditioned on faithfully performing process-server duties. Evidence of the bond is provided to the clerk of each court, and no person is required to furnish more than one bond to serve process in any state court in Nebraska. Some counties may have additional local requirements — confirm with the court where you intend to serve.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Nebraska process server bond? +
The premium is $450 — a flat 3% of the fixed $15,000 bond amount, the same for every server. The $15,000 is set by § 25-507, so there is no quote process.
Do I need a separate bond for each court? +
No. The statute is explicit: you provide evidence of the bond to the clerk of each court where you serve, but you're not required to furnish more than one bond to serve process in any state court in Nebraska. One $15,000 bond covers you statewide.
Is this a license? +
Not exactly — Nebraska doesn't issue a statewide process-server license. Section 25-507 makes the $15,000 bond the qualifying requirement to serve as a private person. Some counties may add local rules, so check with the court where you'll serve.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your authority to serve never lapses over a missed email.
