NV document prep service bonds.
$1,500 flat. Soft pull.
Nevada requires a registered document preparation service to file a surety bond with the Secretary of State, and a service employing at least 2 but not more than 25 registrants posts a $50,000 bond. Ours is $1,500 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for everyone. One soft credit pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Nevada regulates non-attorney document preparation services through the Secretary of State under NRS Chapter 240A. To register, a service files a surety bond, and the bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it backs your honest, lawful performance of document preparation work for the people who pay you.
The amount is tiered by how many registrants you employ. An individual registrant files a $25,000 bond; a service employing at least 2 but not more than 25 registrants files $50,000; larger operations file more. This page is the $50,000 tier — confirm your tier against your registrant count.
If a service commits fraud, dishonesty, negligence, or wrongfully fails to provide services, a harmed customer can recover against the bond. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay in force for the life of your registration.
