What it is and who needs it.
What the notary bond and E&O actually do
Nevada requires every notary public to file a $10,000 bond with the State of Nevada under NRS 240.030, lodged with the clerk of the county where the applicant resides, before the Secretary of State issues the commission. The commission runs a four-year term.
The bond protects the public, not the notary. If a notary's error or misconduct harms someone, the injured party can recover against the bond up to $10,000 — and the notary must then reimburse the surety. That is the part the statute mandates.
The bundled $25,000 of errors & omissions (E&O) coverage protects you. E&O is optional insurance, not a state requirement, but most notaries carry it: if you make an honest mistake, your E&O policy covers your defense and liability up to its limit, so a slip doesn't come out of your pocket. This package gives you both in one application.

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 $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The carrier issues this bond for a single 4-year term; the term cannot be changed at checkout.
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 your county clerk. File the executed $10,000 bond with the clerk of the county where you reside, along with your oath of office, to complete your commission. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
