Nebraska Birth Certificate Requirements

The Right Certified Copy

An official certified copy of the Nebraska birth certificate from the DHHS Office of Vital Records, on security paper with the state seal. It goes directly to the Secretary of State and is not separately notarized.

Issuing Authority

Nebraska Secretary of State, Notary Division issues the apostille. It is the only office in Nebraska that can.

No Notarization

Do not notarize a vital record. It goes straight from the issuing agency to the state authentication office.

You provide a current certified copy of your Nebraska birth certificate. Here is where to order one from the issuing agency, then we handle the apostille from there.

What the Ready Date Means

Your estimated ready date is when the apostille is completed and back in our hands, not when it reaches your mailbox. Mailing adds a few days on top. The moment it is done you also get a scan of the apostille page, so you have the official apostille number and a copy for translations or your records right away, while the original is on its way to you.

Common Reasons to Apostille a Nebraska Birth Certificate

A Nebraska birth certificate apostille is most often needed for dual citizenship and citizenship by descent, immigration and residency abroad, foreign school enrollment, and registering a birth with another country.

What to Watch For With a Nebraska Record

The verified, state-specific rules that trip people up, so your apostille is not rejected.

  • Nebraska apostilles come from the Secretary of States Notary Division in Lincoln, $10 per document, in 3 to 5 business days, with same-day walk-in.
  • Birth ($17), death, marriage, and divorce ($16 each) all come from the Nebraska DHHS Office of Vital Records in Lincoln.
  • Submit the original state certified copy on security paper; out-of-state documents cannot be apostilled.
  • Pay exactly $10 per document; over or underpayment delays processing.

The Document Must Be Apostilled by the State That Issued It

This trips up most people. If you were born in Texas but live in California, your birth certificate is apostilled by Texas, not California. Our order form asks which state issued the document and routes it to the correct state automatically. If you are not sure, just ask us.

One Flat, All-In Price

The same price in every state. No per-state quotes, no hidden checkout fees. Return shipping is included.
