Read the first 7 Qualifications and Commissioning flashcards as text

  1. A Nevada notary decides to resign her commission mid-term. What should she do?

    Answer: Submit written notice of resignation to the Secretary of State

    A resigning notary must notify the Secretary of State in writing that the commission is being relinquished.

  2. A non-resident Nevada notary quits her Nevada job and takes a position in California. What effect does this have on her Nevada commission?

    Answer: She no longer qualifies, because her commission depended on Nevada employment

    A non-resident's eligibility rests on Nevada employment, so losing that employment ends the basis for the commission.

  3. Which fee arrangement is correct for obtaining a Nevada notary commission?

    Answer: An application fee is paid to the Secretary of State, plus a separate filing fee to the county clerk

    Applicants pay the Secretary of State's application fee and a separate county clerk fee when filing the bond and oath.

  4. A notary's four-year commission is about to expire and she wants no gap in authority. When should she act?

    Answer: Apply for reappointment before the current commission expires

    There is no automatic renewal, so a notary must complete the reappointment process before the old commission lapses.

  5. During the application process, an applicant is asked about criminal history. Which conviction type is most relevant to eligibility?

    Answer: A felony or a crime involving moral turpitude or dishonesty

    Felonies and crimes involving dishonesty or moral turpitude can disqualify an applicant, unlike minor traffic matters.

  6. Who is legally responsible for the performance of a Nevada notary's official duties, even when the employer paid for the commission, bond, and stamp?

    Answer: The notary personally

    The commission belongs to the notary as a public officer, so personal responsibility for official acts cannot be transferred to an employer.

  7. An employer who paid for an employee's notary supplies demands the stamp and journal when the employee quits. What is true under Nevada law?

    Answer: The stamp and journal belong to the notary, who must keep them

    The notary stamp and journal are the property and responsibility of the notary regardless of who paid for them.
