  1. For electronic notarizations in Nebraska, what replaces the physical rubber stamp seal?

    Answer: An electronic seal that meets state specifications

    Nebraska law requires an electronic seal for electronic notarizations that contains the same information as a physical seal.

  2. A Nebraska notary is commissioned in Douglas County. A signer asks the notary to use a seal that lists Lancaster County instead, as the document is for Lancaster County use. The notary should:

    Answer: Refuse and only use the Douglas County seal reflecting their actual commission

    The notary must only use the seal reflecting their actual county of commission; using any other county designation is fraudulent.

  3. Nebraska law requires the notary seal to be affixed in a way that it does NOT:

    Answer: Obscure or cover any text or information on the document

    The seal must be placed so it does not obscure any text, signatures, or other critical information on the document.

  4. A notary receives a request to notarize a document and their seal has just expired along with their commission. The notary should:

    Answer: Decline to notarize until a new commission and seal are obtained

    A notary with an expired commission and seal has no authority to perform notarizations and must decline until a new commission is obtained.

  5. When a Nebraska notary resigns their commission, what must they do with the official seal?

    Answer: Destroy or deface the seal so it cannot be used

    Upon resignation, the notary must destroy or deface the seal to prevent its use after authority has ended.

  6. Under Nebraska law, notarizations performed without an official seal are generally:

    Answer: Invalid and may have no legal effect

    Nebraska requires the official seal for valid notarizations, so notarizations performed without a seal are generally considered invalid.

  7. If a Nebraska notary's commission expiration date on their seal becomes difficult to read due to seal wear, the notary should:

    Answer: Replace the seal immediately so all required information remains legible

    All information on the seal impression must be legible; if any required element is unreadable due to wear, the seal must be replaced.
