A Nebraska Appearance Bond is a type of surety bond that is used in the state of Nebraska to secure the appearance of a defendant in court. It guarantees that the defendant will appear before the court on the designated day and time as ordered by the court. The bond is issued by a bail bondsman or an insurance company and the defendant, or obliged, must pay a fee to the bondsman in exchange for the bond. The bond amount is typically set by the court and is usually equal to the full amount of the bail set by the court. There are two types of Nebraska Appearance Bond: a criminal appearance bond and a civil appearance bond. The criminal appearance bond is used in criminal cases to guarantee the defendant’s appearance in court and the civil appearance bond is used in civil cases to ensure that the defendant will appear in court. In either case, the bondsman is responsible for ensuring that the defendant appears in court on the designated day and time. If the defendant fails to do so, the bondsman is responsible for paying the full amount of the bond to the court.
