Nevada requires every notary to file a fixed $10,000 bond for the four-year commission term, under NRS 240.033. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every notary. The application is five minutes, and notary bonds are the fastest thing we issue.
















Notary bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Your details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Notary bonds are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Secretary of State and your county clerk for your notary commission. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price — the bond covers Nevada’s four-year commission.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
