A Nebraska notary public commission is a state credential that authorizes a private individual to perform notarial acts - taking acknowledgments, administering oaths and affirmations, witnessing signatures, and completing other acts defined by Nebraska law - for the public. The program sits with the Nebraska Secretary of State, which lists Notary Public among its Business Services offerings and maintains a Notary page and online notary services through that office. The NE Notary case studies are 5 cases and about 2,438 words.
