Nebraska State Records

Nebraska Public Records

The Nebraska State Records website provides every person with the right to gather, obtain, and examine public records. This ensures that Nebraska residents are able to access to this information in accordance with the Nebraska Public Records Law. This act states that all government information and records are available to the public.

The goal of this website is to ensure all members of the general public are able to use their right to access state public records. This can be done without requiring a reason for accessing such information, or providing personal information, unless the requested information is confidential by law.

Nebraska State Records contains criminal records, court records, and vital records, including over 15 million transparent public records.

Nebraska began creating public records in the year 1867, and these records usually cover all 93 counties. Over the last 30 years, digitization of public records has become the standard, allowing more government and third party websites to offer these records online with increased reliabilty, and transparency. This allows Nebraska citizens to abide by the commitment of the United States of America to remain a fair and just society for all.
