The Nebraska General Notary Public Bond Form is a legally binding document that is required for all notaries public in the state of Nebraska. This document serves as a guarantee that the notary will faithfully discharge their duties in accordance with the laws of the state and will not act beyond the scope of their authority. The bond is a financial agreement between the notary, the principal (the person who is applying for the notary commission), and the surety company. The surety company guarantees the principal that any losses incurred due to the notary’s wrongful or negligent acts will be compensated. If the notary fails to perform their duties, the surety company will pay any damages up to the amount listed on the bond. The Nebraska General Notary Public Bond Form is available in two types: the $10,000 bond and the $5,000 bond. Both forms are available for download from the Nebraska Secretary of State website.
