Apostille in Nebraska, handled end to end.
An apostille authenticates the seal and signature on a Nebraska document so it's accepted abroad under the Hague Apostille Convention. In Nebraska, apostilles are issued by the Secretary of State's Business Services Division in Lincoln.
Nebraska issues birth and death records only at the state level — counties don't issue them — and the certified copy has to be a current one on the state's security paper, with the State Registrar's certification. An old, laminated, or hospital souvenir certificate is the usual reason a vital-record filing is turned away. Starting with the right copy is what keeps the apostille on track.
We prepare, submit, and track your Nebraska apostille from start to finish — in person at our two San Diego offices, or by secure, tracked mail from anywhere in Nebraska.

Nebraska requirements
What Nebraska documents need first.
Every document type has its own rule in Nebraska. Getting it right the first time is what avoids a rejection and a second wait.
State-only vital records on security paper
Nebraska birth and death certificates are issued solely by the DHHS Office of Vital Records — counties don't issue them. The apostille needs a current state-issued certified copy on the multicolored security paper, with the State Registrar's signature; a photocopy, a laminated copy, or a hospital souvenir certificate is rejected. We obtain the correct copy for you.
Notarized documents go straight to the state
Nebraska notaries are commissioned by the Secretary of State, so a notarized power of attorney or affidavit goes directly to Lincoln with no county step. The document must be the original, with the notary's signature and seal. We notarize your document correctly for you.
Corporate records — the Certificate of Good Standing
Nebraska's proof of good standing (its Certificate of Existence) is issued by the Secretary of State and bears the state seal, so it apostilles directly with no notary step. We obtain it and apostille it in the same order.

Nebraska apostille questions, answered.
How much does an apostille cost in Nebraska?+
It depends on the document and how fast you need it. In Nebraska, starting with a current state-issued certified copy is what keeps a filing from bouncing. You get a flat, all-in quote before any work begins, with no hidden fees.
Do Nebraska birth certificates need anything special?+
Yes. Nebraska birth and death records are issued only at the state level by the DHHS Office of Vital Records — counties don't issue them — and the apostille needs a current certified copy on the multicolored security paper with the State Registrar's signature. A photocopy, laminated copy, or hospital souvenir certificate is rejected. We obtain the correct copy for you.
How fast is a Nebraska apostille?+
Nebraska is one of the quicker states: a walk-in request in Lincoln is handled the same day, and mailed requests are typically processed within a few business days of arriving. We route your document the fastest way for your deadline and track it throughout.
Does a Nebraska notarized document need a county step?+
No. Nebraska notaries are commissioned by the Secretary of State, so a notarized power of attorney or affidavit goes straight to Lincoln. It must be the original, with the notary's signature and seal. We notarize your document correctly for you.
Is my FBI background check apostilled in Nebraska?+
No. FBI background checks are federal, so they're apostilled by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC — not by Nebraska — even for Nebraska residents. We handle that federal route in the same order.
Can I get a Nebraska apostille from San Diego?+
Yes. We serve all of Nebraska — Omaha, Lincoln, Bellevue, Grand Island, and beyond — by secure, tracked mail, and you're welcome at either of our two San Diego walk-in offices.
