About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the document preparer bond guarantees

Nevada's NRS Chapter 240A requires a person who prepares legal documents for others — without being a licensed attorney directing the work — to register with the Secretary of State as a document preparation service and to file a cash or surety bond as a condition of registration.

The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it is conditioned that the registrant performs document-preparation duties faithfully and ethically, in compliance with Nevada law. A client harmed by the registrant's misconduct can recover against the bond, and releasing the surety does not erase claims for harm that occurred while the bond was in force.

This page is the bond for an individual registrant, filed at a $25,000 penal sum. Business entities file under a registrant-count tier instead — if you are registering a company rather than yourself, we issue the matching business bond.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the individual document preparer bond? +
The premium is $750 — a flat 3% of the $25,000 bond an individual registrant files. The amount is set by NRS Chapter 240A, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
I'm registering a company, not myself — is this the right bond? +
This page is the individual-registrant bond. A business entity files under a registrant-count tier instead (for example, a business with one registrant files a $25,000 bond on its own form). Send us your registration and we'll confirm the right tier.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active while your registration is active. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
