About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the cost bond actually covers

When a plaintiff resides out of state, or is a foreign corporation, Nevada lets the defendant require security for the costs and charges that may be awarded against the plaintiff, by filing and serving a written demand within the time for answering. That security is governed by NRS 18.130.

The undertaking is in an amount not exceeding $500, and a defendant may demand it for each defendant the plaintiff has sued. It guarantees that if the plaintiff loses and costs are awarded, the defendant can recover those costs against the bond rather than chasing an out-of-state party.

If no undertaking is filed within 30 days after the demand (or an order for new or additional security), the court may dismiss the action. We issue the surety undertaking the demand calls for with pricing from $100; the application collects no credit information, and any check that runs is a soft pull that never affects your score. Ready to file before the deadline runs.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Nevada non-resident cost bond?Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. NRS 18.130 caps the undertaking at $500 per defendant, so most cost bonds land near the minimum price. Enter the amount the demand or court order named and your exact price appears at the application.
Why am I being asked for security?Because you are an out-of-state plaintiff (or a foreign corporation) and a defendant filed a demand under NRS 18.130. The security guarantees the defendant’s costs if you lose, since you are outside Nevada’s easy reach for collection.
What happens if I do not file it?If no undertaking is filed within 30 days after the demand (or an order for additional security), the court may dismiss your action. File the executed undertaking before that deadline runs.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. If a check does run, it is a soft pull that never affects your credit score.
Can the court require more than $500?The base undertaking is capped at $500 per defendant, but the court can order new or additional security if circumstances warrant. Enter whatever amount the order names and we’ll issue it.
