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

Question 3

Accepted Answer

A tamper-evident electronic notarial seal

Accepted Answer

Yes, provided the notarial certificate portion is completed in English

Answer

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.
