What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Nevada notary bond is a public-protection guarantee. As a commissioned notary you witness signatures and administer oaths that people rely on — the state wants a financial backstop that you’ll perform your duties honestly and according to law.
Under NRS 240.033, before a commission issues you file a $10,000 surety bond for the four-year commission term, payable to the State of Nevada and conditioned to indemnify anyone harmed by a notarial act that violates NRS 240.001 to 240.169. The bond is filed with the Secretary of State, with a copy to your county clerk.
It is not insurance for you. If a person is harmed by your notarial act and the surety pays a claim — up to $10,000 — you repay the surety. (Many notaries also carry separate errors-and-omissions coverage to protect themselves; the bond protects the public.) We track your bond and notify you ahead of renewal so your commission never lapses.
