A Guide: How To Become an Online Notary in Nevada

Becoming an online notary in Nevada allows you to notarize documents remotely for clients across the U.S. and earn money online — all from the convenience of your home. Nevada is one of the leading states to authorize Remote Online Notarization (RON), and with the right steps, you can start your online notary business in just a few weeks.

Step 1: Hold a Traditional Notary Commission

Before becoming an online notary, you must already be a commissioned notary public in Nevada. If you don’t have one, visit the Nevada Secretary of State’s website to apply for your commission. Once approved, you’ll upload your commission to your Online Notary Center account.

Step 2: Complete Nevada Online Notary Training

Nevada requires specific training for electronic notarizations in addition to standard notary education.
- Log in to the state’s training portal: https://training.nvsos-training.com/
- Enroll in and complete the Electronic Notary Training course
- Pass the exam successfully
- Pay the $45 training fee through https://www.nvsilverflume.gov/home

Step 3: Obtain Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance

Protect yourself against liability by purchasing an E&O policy with at least $25,000 in coverage. Policies are affordable, often starting at $15–$30 annually. Upload your certificate of coverage to your account.

Step 4: Purchase a Digital Certificate

You’ll need a secure digital certificate to perform electronic notarizations. Online Notary Center partners with IdenTrust to provide these. The certificate ensures notarized documents are tamper-evident and legally valid.

Step 5: Select an Online Notary Center Plan

Choose a subscription plan that fits your workflow:
- Notary Professional Plan – $19.95/month
- Notary Enterprise Plan – Custom pricing

Both plans include your digital seal, signature, notary journal, and the technology needed to conduct secure online notarizations.

Step 6: Register with the Nevada Secretary of State

Finally, you must file your Electronic Notarization Exemplar with the state:
- Log into SilverFlume: https://www.nvsilverflume.gov/home
- Select Notary > Electronic Notarization Exemplar
- Upload the exemplar provided by Online Notary Center
- Submit online (no additional fee)

Once approved, you are officially authorized to perform online notarizations in Nevada.
