A.2 years
B.4 years
C.5 years
D.10 years

B.16 years old
C.18 years old
D.21 years old
Explanation: NRS 240.015 requires that an applicant for a Nevada notary public commission be at least 18 years of age. Applicants must also be Nevada residents (or qualifying residents of an adjoining state) and possess their civil rights.

B.Only remote notaries take any exam; traditional notaries do not
C.No, Nevada requires only an application and bond with no exam

6What surety bond amount must a Nevada notary public obtain and file?
A.$5,000
B.$10,000
C.$15,000
D.$25,000
Explanation: NRS 240.030 requires a $10,000 surety bond made payable to the State of Nevada, filed with the county clerk of the notary's county of residence (or employment, for adjoining-state residents). The bond runs for the 4-year commission term.

B.With the Secretary of State directly
C.With the county clerk of the county where the notary resides or is employed
D.With the district court clerk in Carson City
Explanation: The $10,000 bond and the oath of office are filed with the county clerk of the county where the notary resides (or, for adjoining-state residents, where they are employed in Nevada). The clerk then issues a filing notice that the applicant uploads with the SilverFlume application.
8Whom does a Nevada notary's surety bond protect?
A.The notary's employer only
B.The Secretary of State's office

A.$15.00
