Notarial Acts and Certificates
The acts a Nebraska notary performs under Nebraska Revised Statutes Chapter 64, how acknowledgments and jurats differ, and what a valid certificate must contain.
The authorized acts
Nebraska notaries take acknowledgments, administer oaths and affirmations, and perform jurats. The notary must match the correct act to the document without choosing it for the signer.
Acknowledgment vs. jurat
The oath and the presence-at-signing requirement separate the two most common acts.
Personal appearance and online acts
Every act requires personal appearance. Nebraska authorizes online notarization under set conditions.
The certificate
The certificate is the notary's official record of the act.
