I called the NSP and made an appointment to submit my "Nebraska CHP Application/Renewal" form and get fingerprinted.  When I spoke to their office, the young lady told me I would need the completed application, driver's license, old CHP, and a form of payment (cash or check).  When I asked if the form needed to be notarized, she specifically said "We have notaries in the office.  Just bring the completed form, but do not sign it". 

However, when I look at the NSP website How to Apply or Renew page, it says to bring "Completed and notarized application form (renewal check on front)".  Emphasis added.

So for those who have renewed, what has been your experience?  Do you need to notarize it ahead of time, or is making sure there is a notary in the office one of the reasons they require an appointment?

Thanks,
Fly

I haven't renewed, but I don't possibly see how having it notarized ahead of time can be detrimental.  Plus, if they have someone call in sick or out on break you're covered.

The Omaha NSP has signs on the wall saying that they don't have notaries available. I was reminded of this a few months ago when I went to renew my permit.

I'd recommend getting it notarized ahead of time.

Good advice gents.  Well taken.  I would prefer to not let anyone know I have a CHP though (e.g., a notary), but it is probably sound advice.

If you were in Omaha I'd notarize it for you, but I won't be in Lincoln any time soon.

Nice thought.  Thanks for thinking of the possibilities.

Another question for the group.  Did anyone NOT provide your SSN on the application?  Just wondering if that delayed the process, and by how much?

Thanks again,

I have heard from several sources that NSP will not notarize an application

That's what I remember reading too.  Maybe this young lady was just mistaken or they have had a change in policy.

I will likely get it notarized prior to my appointment and then ask again when I arrive at the NSP.

Fly...we are beating "your horse" to death, but YES....get notarized prior to visit or you WILL be turned away.  Also, "cover up" what your paperwork is about if you are concerned.  A notary simply observes you signing and that it is indeed your signature.  WHAT you are signing is not and should not be their concern.    In short, they could notarize a blank piece of paper. 
With regards to SSN, you may as well provide to expedite the background check.  They already have it, and likely forego delays.

Ok here is the gouge.  I went to the Lincoln NSP CID office to submit my renewal form today.  A few points of interest.
  • Before I went in I had the form notarized for free at my bank.  When I arrived at the NSP office, I asked again whether they would notarize the form.  She assured me that they have 2 or 3 notaries in the office at all times and that they WOULD notarize the form.  Just be sure not to sign it until you are in the office with the notary.
  • They said to expect the new permit in approximately seven days, which I assume is the 5 days + a couple for mailing time.
  • They said that I could destroy my old CHP when the new one arrived.  No need to return it.
Hope that helps others.  All-in-all a painless process, and the young ladies at the NSP are quite nice.

They have 5 BUSINESS days (unlike Calender days for the original permit) so including the weekend with mail, yes 7 days most likely.  Took my renewal that long.  Now why would you destroy you old/original permit?  Kind of like a trophy in my opinion.....  :)

Had a 2:00PM appointment in Norfolk on 8/12/2013, received my new permit on the 8/21/2013. So 8 days from my application for renewal in Norfolk. Nice and quick might have been quicker if I would have gone to Lincoln but Norfolk was closer.

Am I missing something here. You are making appointments with NSP offices to renew? Is this something new?

Everywhere but the Omaha office now requires an appointment.

When I applied on June 4 in Omaha, I didnt have to make an appointment.  Interesting that it changed. Their site is down right now to verify.

Still no appt needed in Omaha.  You do have to stand in line. Only about 10 mins when no line for anything else.

My post was unclear.  Omaha is the only office that does not require an appointment right now.
