  1. What core technology does Nebraska's remote online notarization (RON) require?

    Answer: Secure real-time audio-visual communication technology allowing the notary to see and hear the signer

    Nebraska's RON requires real-time audio-visual communication so the notary can see, hear, and interact with the remote signer.

  2. Under Nebraska RON rules, how must a notary verify the identity of a remote signer?

    Answer: Use knowledge-based authentication (KBA) and/or credential analysis technology

    Nebraska RON requires identity proofing through knowledge-based authentication and/or credential analysis technology to substitute for in-person identity verification.

  3. For an electronic notarization in Nebraska, what type of notarial seal is required?

    Answer: A tamper-evident electronic notarial seal

    Electronic notarizations in Nebraska require a tamper-evident electronic seal to ensure the document's integrity after signing.

  4. A Nebraska notary receives a document written entirely in Spanish, which the notary does not understand. May the notary proceed?

    Answer: Yes, provided the notarial certificate portion is completed in English

    Nebraska notaries may notarize foreign-language documents as long as the notarial certificate itself is in English, since the notary certifies their own act — not the document's contents.

  5. Under Nebraska law, what is the maximum fee a notary may charge for each traditional (in-person) notarial act?

    Answer: $5

    Nebraska law caps the fee for each traditional notarial act at $5; lower fees or no fee may also be charged.

  6. When a Nebraska notary's commission expires, what must the notary immediately do?

    Answer: Stop performing notarial acts and destroy or secure the expired seal to prevent misuse

    Upon commission expiration, the notary must immediately cease all notarial acts and secure or destroy their seal so it cannot be misused.

  7. A Nebraska notary improperly refuses to notarize a lawful document solely because they disagree with its purpose. What consequence may the notary face?

    Answer: Disciplinary action by the Secretary of State for refusing a lawful notarization request without valid grounds

    While notaries may refuse for legitimate legal reasons, refusing a lawful notarization request without valid grounds can result in disciplinary action by the Secretary of State.
