Who needs this in Nebraska

Collection agencies that collect from Nebraska residents generally need a license from the Secretary of State’s collection-agency program.

Where to file

File with the Secretary of State. A Department of Banking and Finance lender or money-transmitter license does not replace this filing.

Federal overlay

State licensing does not replace the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, CFPB Regulation F, or the TCPA. Those rules apply whether or not a state issues a license.
