Nebraska Notary Journal Requirements

Here is what Nebraska asks of a notary's journal or record book, and the Uptown Seal Press Nebraska Notary Journal built around it.

Nebraska journal rules at a glance

  • Paper notarizations: the notary law sections reviewed do not require a journal for traditional notarial acts. Keeping one is a good practice.
  • Online notaries must keep a secure electronic record of each online act, with a backup.
  • Online record must include: date and time, type of act, document description, each signer's printed name and address, how identity was proven, any fee charged, and the audio-video recording of the session.
  • Online records and recordings must be kept at least 10 years.
