The Nebraska Secretary of State, Collection Agency Licensing Board is tasked with the responsibility of collection agency licensing and compliance. A Nebraska Collection Agency License ensures that solicitors will comply with the states statutes and regulations when dealing with consumers and debt collection practices.

Anyone who is operating a Nebraska collection agency or is in the business of collecting or receiving payment for others of any account, bill, or other indebtedness, must apply for a license.

License Requirements:

  1. Complete the application and pay the investigations fee and license fee.
  2. Provide three letters of personal reference for individuals and partners of the business.
  3. Corporations will need to register with the Secretary of State and obtain a letter of good standing. Corporations will also need to provide a copy of their articles of incorporation and the name of their resident agent in the state of incorporation.
