Frequently Asked Questions
How long is a Nevada notary public commission?
A Nevada notary commission lasts 4 years under NRS Chapter 240. The required $10,000 surety bond is written for the same 4-year term, and the commission must be renewed (with training and the exam again) before it expires.
Does Nevada require a notary exam?
Yes. Unlike most states, Nevada requires all new and renewing traditional notaries to complete a state training course and pass an exam with a score of at least 80%. Electronic notaries must also pass a separate eNotary exam with at least 75%.
How much does it cost to become a Nevada notary?
The Secretary of State charges a $35 application fee plus $45 for traditional training. With the $10,000 surety bond (about $40), county clerk filing (about $20), and supplies, the total typically runs about $219 to $244. eNotary registration adds $50 and eNotary training $45.
What are the maximum fees a Nevada notary can charge?
Under NRS 240.100, the maximums are $15 for the first acknowledgment signature ($7.50 each additional), $7.50 for an oath or affirmation, $7.50 for a certified copy, $15 per jurat signature, and $75 for a marriage ceremony. Electronic acts under NRS 240.197 are capped at $25 each.
Does Nevada allow remote online notarization (RON)?
Yes. Nevada authorized remote electronic notarization under Assembly Bill 413, effective July 1, 2018 (NRS 240.181-240.206). A notary must be an active traditional notary, register as an electronic notary, use approved audio-video technology, keep a recording for at least 7 years, and be physically located in Nevada during the act.
Is a surety bond required, and is errors-and-omissions insurance required?
A $10,000 surety bond is mandatory and is filed with the county clerk; it protects the public, not the notary. Errors-and-omissions (E&O) insurance, which protects the notary, is optional and not required by Nevada law.
