Verify Government Callers with Official Nebraska Phone Directories
Need an official Nebraska government number, or want to check one that called you? Start with Nebraska State Agency Contact Directory and Nebraska State Employee Phone Search.
Nebraska State Agency Contact Directory
Nebraska.gov's All Agencies page lists every Nebraska state agency with its address, phone number and, where there is one, fax number. A search box narrows the list.
When someone calls saying they represent a Nebraska agency, find its card and call the number on it. The page needs JavaScript turned on, and the Suggest a Change button is for reporting wrong listings.
Nebraska State Employee Phone Search
The Nebraska state employee phone search takes a first name, last name, phone number, agency and division in any combination. Partial names work, and so do partial numbers: enter 4636 and you get every listing with those digits.
That makes it a reverse lookup even if all you have is an extension or the last four digits of a caller's number. A notice on the page points to a newer Nebraska State Directory.
