NV Notary Qualifications and Commissioning 5

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Submit written notice of resignation to the Secretary of State

Answer

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

Question 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?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Apply for reappointment before the current commission expires

Answer

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

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

A felony or a crime involving moral turpitude or dishonesty

Answer

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