Notary Bond Nevada
What is a notary bond in Nevada?
Nevada law requires all notaries in the state to post a $10,000 notary bond for their four-year commission. The bond serves as a financial guarantee that the notary will fulfill their duties under the law and won’t engage in fraudulent or illegal activities. In short, it protects the public from monetary losses if their notary makes a mistake or violates the surety contract.
