Nevada Notary Public Bond
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.
