What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Nevada notaries are commissioned by the Secretary of State under NRS Chapter 240. Before the commission issues, NRS 240.030 requires the applicant to file a $10,000 surety bond with the clerk of the county where they reside (or, for an adjoining-state resident, where they work).
The bond is a public-protection guarantee, not coverage for you. If a notary's misconduct or negligence in performing notarial acts harms someone, that person can recover against the bond — up to $10,000. The commission runs four years, and the bond is sized to that term.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Notaries who want protection for their own liability add a separate errors-and-omissions (E&O) policy. This page is the bond without E&O; ask us if you want the bundled version.
