State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Nebraska
The Nebraska Secretary of State's Notary Division issues apostilles and authentications. The fee is 10 dollars per document or notarization regardless of the number of pages.
Mail in requests are processed in 3 to 5 business days from receipt, while walk in requests at the office at 1201 N Street, Suite 120 in Lincoln are handled immediately and completed the same day.
Documents must bear the original signature of a Nebraska notary or a Nebraska state or county official to qualify for an apostille or authentication, and a document with multiple notarizations incurs a separate 10 dollar fee for each.
USCIS does not require notarized translations from Nebraska applicants. The federal requirement is a certified translation, in which the translator signs a certification of accuracy and competence. No Nebraska notary is needed for a USCIS filing.
Some Nebraska state licensure applications are stricter than the USCIS standard. Nebraska DHHS professional licensing forms require translations that are original documents bearing the notarized signature of the translator, so applicants to state boards should check whether notarization is required on top of certification.
A Nebraska apostille requires the underlying document to carry the signature of a Nebraska notary or state or county official, so a translation bound for use abroad needs the translator's certification notarized in Nebraska before the Secretary of State will certify it.
Documents
What Nebraska customers translate most
Spanish is by far the most spoken language other than English in Nebraska. South Omaha has a longstanding Spanish speaking community, and agricultural and meat processing towns such as Lexington, Grand Island, Schuyler, and Crete have large Spanish speaking populations.
German ancestry is the largest reported ancestry group in Nebraska, reflecting heavy nineteenth century settlement by Germans and by Germans from Russia. The American Historical Society of Germans from Russia is headquartered in Lincoln, and German language church, civil, and family records from these communities are a steady source of genealogical translation work.

Questions
Nebraska questions
- Who issues apostilles in Nebraska?
- The Nebraska Secretary of State's Notary Division in Lincoln issues apostilles and authentications for 10 dollars per document. Mail in requests take 3 to 5 business days, and walk in requests at 1201 N Street, Suite 120 in Lincoln are completed the same day. The document must carry the signature of a Nebraska notary or a state or county official, so confirm the full chain with the receiving country before you start.
- Which USCIS office serves Nebraska?
- The Omaha Field Office is Nebraska's USCIS field office, and visits are by appointment only. Every foreign language document in a USCIS filing must include a complete English translation with the translator's signed certification of accuracy.
- Does Nebraska have an immigration court?
- Yes. The Omaha Immigration Court hears cases under the Executive Office for Immigration Review, with public filing hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on business days. Foreign language documents filed with the court generally must be accompanied by a certified English translation.
- Do translations need to be notarized in Nebraska?
- It depends on where the document is going. USCIS requires certification, not notarization, so a translator's signed certification of accuracy is enough for immigration filings. Nebraska DHHS licensing applications, on the other hand, ask for translations bearing the notarized signature of the translator. Always confirm the standard with the office receiving your documents.
- What does Nebraska require for translated documents in professional licensing?
- Nebraska DHHS licensure applications state that any document in a language other than English must come with a complete English translation that is an original document containing the notarized signature of the translator. Requirements can differ by profession, so confirm the current form instructions for your specific license.
- Do Nebraska universities accept certified translations of international transcripts?
- Schools such as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Creighton University, and the University of Nebraska Medical Center generally require English translations of transcripts and diplomas issued in another language, and some also want a credential evaluation. Each school sets its own rules, so confirm with the admissions office before you order.
- How do I get a certified translation in Nebraska without visiting an office?
- Eagle Translate is 100 percent online with no physical offices anywhere, so the process is the same in Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island, or Lexington. You upload your document, a qualified professional translator completes and reviews the translation, and you receive it in 2 to 3 business days at 24.95 dollars per page of 250 words with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
