Nebraska process server bonds.
$150 flat.
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 $150 flat. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit check.

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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $15,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the court clerk. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to provide as evidence to the clerk of each court where you serve process. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $150 at the $15,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
