Nebraska's approved online notary solution providers

The online list: 20 providers

Approved Online Notary Solution Providers is a one-page PDF: company name, street address and a contact email for each filer, no type column, no approval dates and no printed date. Every name on it is approved for remote acts, so the count is the whole list. Two things trip notaries up when they search it. E-Notary Seal, LLC is printed twice; we count it once. And ICE's product is filed under Expedite, the product our record names Expedite (ICE, formerly DocVerify), so a search for DocVerify finds nothing.

To see the same providers against the other states that publish a list, use the state-approved platform finder or the providers-against-every-list comparison.

The separate in-person electronic list

Nebraska keeps a second PDF, Approved In-Person Electronic Notary Solution Providers, with 11 names. It is for a different act: in the Secretary of State's words, an electronic notarization “still requires the principal and electronic notary public to be in the physical presence of each other during the entire electronic notarization.” A provider applies for each list separately, so being on one says nothing about the other. Missouri goes further: its list approves remote platforms only. If the difference between the two acts is new to you, RON vs IPEN sets it out.

On one list or both

9 providers sit on both lists, 11 are approved for online acts only and 2 for in-person electronic acts only. If you want one account for a remote closing on Monday and a signer at your table on Tuesday, start with the first group. The electronic notary software comparison reads how those tools handle both kinds of act.

Which listed providers take your own signers

The online list mixes two kinds of product. Some are platforms an independent notary signs up for and invites their own clients to; others are closing systems sold to lenders, title companies and banks, where the institution decides which notary works its sessions. By the providers' own pages, 9 of the 20 names let you bring your own signers. For a solo practice start with RON platforms for a solo notary; for closings, RON and eClosing platforms for title and escrow.

Two registrations, two fees

A Nebraska commission lets you notarize on paper. Remote acts and in-person electronic acts are each a registration added on top, with its own course, exam, fee and seal wording, and each ends the same way: you download an approval letter from the Secretary of State's portal and give it to your provider, which sets up your seal. The full path from commission to first session is in how to become a remote online notary, and the exam set beside other states' training rules in remote online notary training by state.

The rules your online sessions run under

A general Nebraska notary may keep a journal or not; the Secretary of State only recommends one. An online notary has no such choice: every online act needs an electronic record, recording included, plus a backup copy. The identity check is fixed in the rules too; identity proofing in RON explains how credential analysis and the quiz work in practice, and electronic notary seal requirements sets Nebraska's seal beside other states'.

Remote notarization authorized

Nebraska's Online Notary Public Act lets a registered online notary public notarize a document remotely, without the principal in the notary's physical presence.

Digital certificate and e-seal

The electronic signature and online notary seal must be under the notary's sole control; the seal carries a border, the name as commissioned, identifying number, expiration date, "Online Notary Public" and "Nebraska".

433 NAC ch. 8, §§ 006-007 read 2026-10-22

Certificate wording

The online certificate must carry the online notary's electronic signature, seal, title and commission expiration date, the date and place of the act, and completed acknowledgment, jurat, verification or oath wording.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 64-402(8) read 2026-10-22

The act also has a fee section and a section on where the principal may be (Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 64-411, 64-412). We could not load the Legislature's statute text when we read the lists, so read those two sections there before you set a price or take a signer who is outside Nebraska.

What the state checked before listing a provider

A provider gets on the online list by filing an application, passing the same course and exam you take, and then running a live demonstration for the Secretary of State's office against a published checklist. Most of that checklist is about the platform. These items are about you.

§ 010.01(E)–(F)

The provider sees your registration and confirms it with the Secretary of State's office before it authorizes you.

Have the approval letter ready when you sign up; a provider that opens your account without asking for it has skipped a step the state checks.

§ 010.01(G)

A subscription longer than the time left on your commission must be prorated to that time.

Commission ending in eight months? Ask for an eight-month price, not a full year.

§ 010.01(A)

Every party gets a free reader or viewer for the notarized document.

Your signer pays nothing to open what you sealed.

§ 010.05

If any party leaves before the act is complete, a new transaction must be started.

A dropped call is not paused: you start a new session, and that session is the act you record.

§ 012

Each signer's signature can be notarized separately when a document has more than one signer.

Two borrowers on one deed are two acts, each with its own record.

§ 010.01(H)

The provider can suspend a notary whose registration is cancelled.

Let your registration lapse or be cancelled and the platform can lock your account.

§ 64-409(3); § 015.01

The provider need not keep your records for the full period, but must let you download them, including after you stop using it.

The 10 years duty is yours. Download each session and keep the backup copy the statute asks for.

§ 011

The provider tells the office of changes to its application within 45 days, and before it ships a new version to Nebraska notaries.

The office expects to hear of a new version before you get it; if a release changes how your seal or record looks, ask whether it was filed.
