Federal vs. State: Nebraska Specifics
The Nebraska Secretary of State in Lincoln processes all apostille requests for documents originating in the Cornhusker State. Nebraska requires documents to be either certified copies from a state or county agency, or notarized by a Nebraska Notary Public. Nebraska does not require county clerk pre-authentication for notarized documents. Vital records must be obtained from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Vital Records Division. Court documents require certification from the Clerk of the District Court in the issuing county. Nebraska offers efficient processing through the Secretary of State's office.
