Bellevue, Nebraska document errands: printing, fax, notary, passports and certified copies (2026)
Where to print, fax, notarize, apply for a passport and get certified copies in Bellevue, Nebraska, in Sarpy County just south of Omaha, using only official and provider pages. This is not Bellevue, Washington. Each fact links to its source. Some facts are statewide or national rather than local. We label those. Nebraska rules differ from Colorado's, Wyoming's and Utah's in several places, and we point those out.

Which offices serve Bellevue: this page is about Bellevue, Nebraska, which is in Sarpy County. Its library is Bellevue Public Library, 2206 Longo Drive, a City of Bellevue department [1]. The county offices are in Papillion, not Bellevue. The Sarpy County Clerk/Register of Deeds handles passports and marriage licenses at the Sarpy County Courthouse Campus, 1210 Golden Gate Drive, and real estate recording at 1102 E. 1st Street [6]. The Clerk of the District Court (divorce and other court records) is at 1210 Golden Gate Drive, Suite 3141 [13]. The state's Office of Vital Records, which issues Nebraska birth certificates, is in Lincoln [15].
Short version: Bellevue Public Library offers notary service "free to all patrons," with no appointment needed, though calling first is recommended [3]. Staff-assisted faxing is $1.75 for the first page and $1 for each page after that, and computer printouts are 10 cents a page in black and white and 50 cents in color [1][2]. The Sarpy County Clerk takes passport applications by appointment only, and a new application must be filled out before the appointment starts [6][7]. A Sarpy County marriage license costs $66 with one certified copy, paid by credit or debit card [8][9]. Nebraska law caps notary fees at $5 for an acknowledgment (statewide) [17].

Notary in Bellevue
- Bellevue Public Library (free): "Bellevue Public Library offers Notary services free to all patrons." Notaries are available most days during library hours, but not less than 45 minutes before closing, depending on which certified staff are working. No appointment is needed, but the library recommends calling first, and it doesn't guarantee availability [3].
- Library notary rules: bring a current valid photo ID, such as a driver's license, U.S. or foreign passport or U.S. military ID. The library doesn't provide witnesses. Don't sign in advance. Documents must be in English, and electronic and remote notarizations aren't available. Library notaries can't certify that a copy of a record such as a birth certificate is a true copy [3].
- The UPS Store: the 505 Cornhusker Rd store lists notary hours as "Available 7 Days" [25]. We didn't find its price.
- Nebraska fee limits (statewide): under Neb. Rev. Stat. 33-133, a notary may charge $5 for taking an acknowledgment, $5 for each certificate and seal, $2 for taking an affidavit and seal, and $2 for administering an oath or affirmation, plus mileage for serving notice. A state or local government employee may not charge these fees if the employer paid the notary's commission and bond fees [17]. Nebraska's caps are much lower than Utah's $10 per signature, Wyoming's $10 per notarial act and Colorado's $15 per document.
- Relatives (statewide): the Secretary of State says a Nebraska notary may not notarize a document signed by their parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, spouse, brothers or sisters, including in-laws, step and half relatives [19].
- Commissions (statewide): the Secretary of State commissions Nebraska notaries. Its online filing process for notary forms took effect November 20, 2023 [18].
- Banks (national policy): Bank of America says notary service is available "at no cost to our customers" and "in many of our financial centers." Schedule an appointment. All signers must be present [22]. For other banks, see free notary options.
- Difference from Omaha and Lincoln: Omaha Public Library doesn't have a notary on staff, and we didn't find one at Lincoln City Libraries. Bellevue's library offers one for free [3].

Birth, death, marriage, court and recorded-document copies
Birth and death certificates: Nebraska Office of Vital Records
- No local counter found: the Sarpy/Cass Health Department's "How Do I Request" page doesn't list birth or death certificates [14]. We didn't find a Sarpy County counter for certified copies. Douglas County's counter in Omaha serves births and deaths that happened in Douglas County (see our Omaha guide).

USPS money order fees are national: $2.65 for $0.01 to $500.00, and $3.75 for $500.01 to $1,000.00. Pay with cash or a debit card, not a credit card. The limit is $1,000 per domestic money order [24]. We didn't find a Bellevue or Sarpy County government office that sells money orders. Other sellers: money order guide.
