Home Inspector Licensing in Nebraska

Skip to content

RECOMMENDATION	DETAILS	STATUS / RESOURCE
State Registration	Required before any home inspection in Nebraska Register with the Nebraska Secretary of State's Licensing Division before performing any home inspection in the state. Submit the registration application along with a $300 filing fee and a current Certificate of Insurance. Registration is valid for two years and must be renewed before expiration. National certifications (if held) are listed on the application but are not required.	Required $300 + 2-yr term Register with NE SOS
Professional Certification	Voluntary, but the industry standard Nebraska doesn't require national certification, but most working inspectors join a national professional association to demonstrate training and adherence to a published standard. The two largest are the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI). Certifications you hold are listed on your NE registration application.	InterNACHI ASHI
General Liability Insurance	$250,000 minimum coverage Maintain general liability insurance of at least $250,000 from a carrier authorized to do business in Nebraska. Submit an original Certificate of Insurance with your registration application — coverage must be in force at the time of registration and continuously thereafter. A lapse in coverage requires immediate notice to the Secretary of State.	Required NE Registration Page
Standards of Practice & Continuing Education	Voluntary, but expected by serious clients and Realtors Nebraska doesn't adopt a state Standards of Practice or mandate continuing education. Most working inspectors follow a published national SOP (ASHI or InterNACHI both publish detailed standards) and complete 16–20 CE hours per year through their association — both of which signal professionalism and protect you legally if a client raises a complaint.
