About this bond

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.

NRS 240.033Under NRS 240.033, before a notary public commission issues the applicant files a $10,000 surety bond for the four-year commission term, payable to the State of Nevada and conditioned to indemnify any person harmed by a notarial act that violates NRS 240.001 to 240.169. The bond is filed with the Secretary of State. Nevada notary commissions run four years.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Nevada notary bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every notary. The $10,000 is set by statute, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How long does the bond last? +
Nevada notary commissions run four years, and the bond is filed for that commission term. We track it and send renewal notices ahead of expiration so your commission never lapses.
Is the bond the same as E&O insurance? +
No. The bond protects the public — it indemnifies people harmed by your notarial acts, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Errors-and-omissions insurance protects you. Many notaries carry both; only the $10,000 bond is required by NRS 240.033.
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.
