Overview
Nevada requires every commissioned notary public to post a surety bond before the state will issue or record the commission — and this bond is that requirement, fulfilled. It protects the members of the public you will serve: the people whose signatures, oaths, and acknowledgments you witness. If a notarial act you perform causes a financial loss to a member of the public, the bond provides a source of recovery for that harmed party. This package includes a $10,000 errors-and-omissions policy bundled with the bond, giving you an additional layer of personal protection as well.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you have applied for a Nevada notary commission — or are renewing one — and the state has told you to post a bond before your commission can be issued or recorded, this is the bond you need. New applicants must have the bond in place before they can take the oath of office and begin performing notarial acts. Renewing notaries need a fresh bond each time a new commission term begins. Anyone seeking to hold a Nevada notary commission, whether for the first time or the tenth, must satisfy this requirement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to protect the Nevada public — not the notary. If you make a notarial error or act improperly and a member of the public suffers a financial loss as a result, the bond gives that person a mechanism to seek compensation. The bond holds you accountable to the people you serve and to the standards Nevada law sets for notarial conduct. The bundled errors-and-omissions policy that comes with this package is the coverage that protects you personally if a claim arises.
When is it Required?
Every Nevada notary commission term requires a bond — so whether this is your first commission or a renewal, the obligation resets each time. The bond must be filed with the state before your commission is issued and before you can legally perform any notarial act. You cannot take the oath of office or begin working as a notary until the bonding requirement is satisfied. Do not wait until after your commission application is approved to secure the bond — have it ready so your commission is not delayed.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide Nevada requirement that applies to every notary commissioned anywhere in Nevada, regardless of county. The bond is filed at the state level and covers your notarial acts performed anywhere within Nevada. There is no separate county-level bonding requirement for Nevada notaries.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do with my bond when my Nevada notary commission term ends?
When your Nevada notary commission expires, so does your bonding obligation under that commission. If you renew your commission, you must obtain a new bond for the new term — your old bond cannot simply be extended or rolled over. Treat each new commission term as a fresh start: secure a new bond, file it with the state, and take the oath before performing any notarial acts under the renewed commission. If you choose not to renew, you have no further bonding obligation, but keep in mind that a surety bond does not provide you with tail coverage after your commission ends.
If I move to a different county in Nevada, does my notary bond need to change?
No. Because the Nevada notary bond is a statewide requirement filed at the state level, moving from one Nevada county to another does not affect your bond or require you to obtain a new one. Your commission and bond remain valid throughout Nevada regardless of which county you live or work in. You may need to notify the appropriate state office of your address change, but your existing bond continues to cover your notarial acts anywhere in the state.
What is the difference between my Nevada notary bond and an errors-and-omissions policy?
The notary bond protects the public — specifically, members of the public who suffer a financial loss because of a notarial act you performed improperly. If a claim is paid out under the bond, you are personally obligated to repay that amount to the surety. The bond does not protect you. An errors-and-omissions policy, on the other hand, is insurance that protects you personally against financial loss if a notarial mistake triggers a claim or lawsuit against you. This Nevada notary bond package bundles both: the required surety bond and a $10,000 errors-and-omissions policy, so you satisfy the state's bonding requirement and carry personal protection at the same time.
