Notary Public in Nevada
Browse 27 cities in Nevada to find a notary public near you.
Nevada notaries serve a 4-year commission, and the state permits remote online notarization. Las Vegas has one of the most active real estate markets in the country, making it a strong market for loan signing agents and mobile notaries; demand is equally high in the Reno-Sparks corridor as Nevada continues to attract new residents and businesses. Nevada's fee structure is tiered rather than flat — $15 for the first signature on a document, with a lower rate for each additional signature on the same document — so a multi-signature closing package costs less per signature than a single standalone document. Becoming a Nevada notary requires a $10,000 bond, training, and a state exam.
Is this notary really commissioned?
Anyone can claim to be a notary. Before you rely on one for an important document, it costs nothing to check that their commission is real, active, and hasn't expired.
Nevada notaries are commissioned by the Nevada Secretary of State — Notary Division, which provides a free public commission lookup.

As of July 2026, Nevada law caps the fee a notary can charge for a standard notarial act at $15 for the first signature on an acknowledgment/jurat, $7.50 for each additional signature, oath/affirmation, or certified copy; $75 for a marriage ceremony. A notary who charges more than the legal maximum for a standard act is breaking the law — you're entitled to ask what they charge before they begin.
What to expect
- Bring a valid, government-issued photo ID — the notary can't proceed without one.
- Your notary is required to record the transaction in a journal — expect to sign it and provide some basic details.
- Every document is marked with the notary's official stamp or seal, confirming the notarization is complete.
