About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the notary bond and E&O actually do

Nevada requires every notary public to file a $10,000 bond with the State of Nevada under NRS 240.030, lodged with the clerk of the county where the applicant resides, before the Secretary of State issues the commission. The commission runs a four-year term.

The bond protects the public, not the notary. If a notary's error or misconduct harms someone, the injured party can recover against the bond up to $10,000 — and the notary must then reimburse the surety. That is the part the statute mandates.

The bundled $25,000 of errors & omissions (E&O) coverage protects you. E&O is optional insurance, not a state requirement, but most notaries carry it: if you make an honest mistake, your E&O policy covers your defense and liability up to its limit, so a slip doesn't come out of your pocket. This package gives you both in one application.

NRS 240.030 (notary bond)NRS 240.030 requires an applicant for a notary public commission to file a $10,000 bond to the State of Nevada with the clerk of the county where the applicant resides, conditioned on the faithful performance of the notary's duties, for the four-year commission term. Errors & omissions coverage is optional insurance that protects the notary and is not required by the statute — it is bundled here for convenience.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Nevada notary bond?The statutory bond is a fixed $10,000 filing. Most notaries buy it bundled with E&O coverage, as here. The exact package price for the bond plus $25,000 of E&O over the four-year commission term is shown at checkout — the application collects no credit information.

What's the difference between the bond and the E&O coverage?The $10,000 bond is required by NRS 240.030 and protects the public — if you harm someone, they can claim against it, and you repay the surety. The $25,000 E&O is optional insurance that protects you: it covers your own defense and liability for honest mistakes, so the cost doesn't fall on you.

Do I have to buy the E&O coverage?The state only requires the $10,000 bond. E&O is optional, but most notaries carry it because the bond doesn't protect them — only the public. This package bundles both so you're covered in one step.

Where do I file the bond?With the clerk of the county where you reside, along with your oath of office, before the Secretary of State issues your commission. We provide the executed bond ready to file.

How long does the commission last?A Nevada notary commission runs four years, and the bond must cover the full term. We send renewal reminders ahead of expiration so your commission doesn't lapse.

Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
