How much does a notary cost in Nebraska?
Most "notary cost" pages are run by an online-notarization platform or a notary supplier — each answering with its own product. This one isn't. Here's what it actually costs in Nebraska, all your options compared fairly — including the one where your bank does it for free.
The two prices, separated
1 · The notarial fee
State-capped. This is the official act — verifying you, witnessing the signature, applying the stamp. It's the same amount whether you drive to the notary or they drive to you.
2 · The travel / convenience fee
Neb. Rev. Stat. sec. 33-133 sets a per-mile fee 'for each mile traveled in serving notice' at the state rate in sec. 81-1176, but that mileage provision is limited to serving notice (of protest) -- it does not cap a mobile notary's travel or convenience fee for coming to a signer. Nebraska statute does not otherwise cap general mobile-notary travel fees; they are unregulated (subject only to being agreed in advance). It only applies when a notary comes to you — a bank or walk-in counter doesn't charge it.
Your options, compared honestly
Nebraska specifics
Fee schedule: Nebraska sets maximum notarial fees by act type under Neb. Rev. Stat. sec. 33-133 -- up to $5 for taking an acknowledgment of a deed/instrument or for a certificate and seal, and $2 for an affidavit, oath, or affirmation -- and an online (RON) notary may add up to $25 per online notarial act under sec. 64-412.
Travel fees: Neb. Rev. Stat. sec. 33-133 sets a per-mile fee 'for each mile traveled in serving notice' at the state rate in sec. 81-1176, but that mileage provision is limited to serving notice (of protest) -- it does not cap a mobile notary's travel or convenience fee for coming to a signer. Nebraska statute does not otherwise cap general mobile-notary travel fees; they are unregulated (subject only to being agreed in advance).
Nebraska does NOT use a single flat per-act fee -- fees are itemized by act type in sec. 33-133: acknowledgment of a deed/instrument $5, certificate and seal $5, affidavit + seal $2, administering an oath or affirmation $2, protest $1, recording a protest $2, notice of protest $2.
The listed amounts are statutory MAXIMUMS; a notary may charge less (many charge nothing for a quick oath).
A notary who is a state or political-subdivision employee may NOT charge these fees if the governmental employer paid the notary's commission and bonding fees (sec. 33-133).
Online/RON acts can add up to $25 per act ON TOP OF the sec. 33-133 base fee (sec. 64-412), so a single remote acknowledgment can lawfully reach $30 total.
The only statutory mileage figure applies to 'serving notice' (protest-related) at the sec. 81-1176 state rate -- it is not a general mileage cap for a mobile notary traveling to a signer.
Nebraska statute does not impose a general itemized-receipt or fee-posting mandate on notaries the way some states do; fee terms (especially mobile travel fees) should be agreed with the signer before the appointment.
Remote online notarization: RON · Live in-state — Remote/online notarization is authorized and operational in Nebraska under the Online Notary Public Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. sec. 64-401 et seq.; Laws 2019, LB186, amended Laws 2021, LB94). The Secretary of State registers online notaries and the fee cap is fixed in statute at $25 per online notarial act (sec. 64-412), chargeable in addition to any base fee under sec. 33-133. Nebraska law recognizes notarial acts validly performed under another state's laws; a Nebraska online notarial act carries the same legal effect as a traditional one.
