  1. What information must appear on a Nevada notary's official stamp?

    Answer: The notary's name, the words 'Notary Public State of Nevada', appointment number, and commission expiration date

    NRS 240.040 specifies the stamp must show the name, 'Notary Public, State of Nevada', the appointment number, and the expiration date.

  2. A Nevada notary's employer paid for the notary's stamp and bond. When the notary quits, who owns the stamp?

    Answer: The notary, because the stamp and commission belong to the notary personally

    The commission, stamp, and journal remain the personal property of the notary regardless of who paid for them.

  3. Under Nevada law, when may a non-attorney notary advertise notarial services in Spanish using the term 'notario público'?

    Answer: Never, because the term is prohibited for non-attorneys due to its different meaning in civil-law countries

    NRS 240.085 forbids non-attorney notaries from using 'notario' or 'notario público' because it misleadingly implies legal authority.

  4. A document to be notarized has blank spaces the signer says will be filled in later. What should a Nevada notary do?

    Answer: Refuse to notarize until the blanks are completed or lined through

    Nevada notaries must not notarize documents containing blank spaces that could be altered after notarization.

  5. In addition to the statutory fee for a notarial act, what may a Nevada notary charge for traveling to a signer?

    Answer: A travel fee agreed to in advance, capped by statute based on the time of day

    NRS 240.100 permits a travel fee if agreed upon in advance, with hourly caps that differ for daytime and nighttime travel.

  6. Which act would constitute the unauthorized practice of law by a Nevada notary?

    Answer: Advising a signer which type of notarial certificate best serves their legal interests

    Choosing or recommending a certificate type for a signer is legal advice; the signer or their attorney must select it.

  7. A Nevada notary charges $20 for a single acknowledgment. What is the legal issue?

    Answer: The fee exceeds the statutory maximum and constitutes an overcharge violation

    Charging more than the maximum fee in NRS 240.100 is a violation that can lead to discipline and refund obligations.
