Restraining Orders

To register your protection order in Nebraska, you need to present a certified copy of your order either to the Nebraska State Patrol or to the county or district court clerk.¹  It’s a good idea to bring your photo ID with you when you register your order. You might also be able to fax your copy to the State Patrol to get it registered. Call the State Patrol headquarters at (402) 471-4545 to find out if this is possible in your area.

There is no fee to register your protection order.²  When your order is registered, the clerk or officer will give you a certified copy of your registered order.³

If you need help registering your protection order, you can contact a local domestic violence organization in Nebraska for assistance.  You can find contact information for organizations in your area on our NE Advocates and Shelters page.
