A California resident works full-time at a Las Vegas title company. Can she become a Nevada notary?
Answer: Yes, a non-resident may qualify if employed in Nevada and the employer certifies the notarial duties
Nevada allows non-residents who work in the state to be commissioned when their employer submits the required certification.
What must a non-resident applicant's Nevada employer provide as part of the application?
Answer: A signed affidavit confirming the applicant is employed in Nevada and will perform notarial acts as part of that employment
The employer must submit an affidavit verifying Nevada employment and that notarial acts relate to that employment.
After being appointed, within what timeframe must a Nevada notary take the oath of office and file the bond to activate the commission?
Answer: Within 30 days after the effective date of the appointment
The oath and bond must be filed with the county clerk within 30 days after the appointment takes effect.
What does the $10,000 notary bond primarily protect?
Answer: Members of the public harmed by the notary's misconduct or negligence
The bond compensates members of the public who are damaged by a notary's official misconduct, not the notary personally.
If a claim is paid out against a notary's surety bond, what is the notary's obligation?
Answer: Reimburse the surety company for the amount paid
A bond is not insurance, so the notary must repay the surety for any claims paid on their behalf.
Which optional protection covers a Nevada notary's own legal liability for unintentional errors?
Answer: Errors and omissions (E&O) insurance
E&O insurance is optional coverage that protects the notary personally, unlike the bond which protects the public.
A notary applicant has a felony conviction she did not disclose on her application, and the Secretary of State discovers it. What is the likely result?
Answer: Denial of the application or revocation of the commission for the false statement
Making a false statement on the application is grounds for denial or revocation, independent of the conviction itself.
