Contact information, except name changes, can be updated by logging into your account on the Nebraska Licensing Portal.

If you have not set up your account, here are a few things to keep in mind:

• A unique email address must be used for each account. Companies cannot use the same email address for multiple individuals as the email is the username.
• Current licensees must use the email address on file with the Board when setting up their account. If you do not remember the email address on file, contact the Board's office at 402-471-2407 or send an email request. 
• You must enter your full social security number in compliance with Nebraska Child Support statutes.
• Addresses must follow standard USPS formatting, including the Zip+4 (i.e., 68509-5165). To look up your address, visit the USPS website.
• Passwords must be at least 8 characters, consisting of an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number (0-9), and a special character (!@#$%^&* only)

To change your name, send an email request to our office along with a copy of the legal document changing your name. Examples of acceptable documents include, but are not limited to, a marriage license, court decree, divorce decree, or citizenship certificate. For divorce decrees, include the first page showing the case number, the page granting the name change, and the page with the judge's or judiciary official's signature.

Neb. Rev. Stat. Sections §§ 4-108 through 4-114 require all applicants for public benefits in Nebraska, including professional licensure, to provide documentation that they may be in the United States legally. The Board uses your documentation to verify your alien status with the US Department of Homeland Security. The application process cannot be completed until the lawful presence is verified.

The Board will not be able to process your application until your alien status can be verified with DHS. If we are unable to verify your status, you will receive notice from the Board that you will need to contact USCIS to update your status.

Yes, you must have a CLARB record (Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of Title 231 NAC).

This will be determined by how your application is processed and when all required supporting documents are received in relation to the next scheduled Board meeting. Initial licenses meeting the CLARB Standards of Eligibility for Council Certification and those who hold a CLARB certificate may be issued administratively by staff on a conditional basis once the application file is complete and there are no issues that need to go to the Board for review. Formal approval will occur at the next scheduled regular meeting. The licensee may start practicing upon issuance of the conditional license.

All other applications must go before the board for approval. Approved licenses are issued within one week of the Board meeting at which the application is approved. To see when the Board will be meeting next, please visit our Meeting Information page.
