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.
















This is the simplest kind of bond in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
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.
$15,000 bond × 3% = $450, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
