What it is and who needs it.
What the cost bond actually covers
When a plaintiff resides out of state, or is a foreign corporation, Nevada lets the defendant require security for the costs and charges that may be awarded against the plaintiff, by filing and serving a written demand within the time for answering. That security is governed by NRS 18.130.
The undertaking is in an amount not exceeding $500, and a defendant may demand it for each defendant the plaintiff has sued. It guarantees that if the plaintiff loses and costs are awarded, the defendant can recover those costs against the bond rather than chasing an out-of-state party.
If no undertaking is filed within 30 days after the demand (or an order for new or additional security), the court may dismiss the action. We issue the surety undertaking the demand calls for with pricing from $100; no credit check up to $2,500, and any check that runs is a. Ready to file before the deadline runs.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the court. File the executed undertaking with the court before the statutory deadline runs. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the clerk insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $2,500. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
One application, priced from $100.
