Yes, the Nevada BIRTH PARENT Application for the Adoption Reunion Registry requires the birth parent's signature to be notarized. This is a legal document from the Nevada Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) where you consent to potential contact, and it must be signed before a Notary Public to be valid.
Lake Mead Mobile Notary offers confidential mobile notarization for adoption-related documents throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, and Clark County. Starting at $65.
An application submitted to the DCFS without being properly notarized will be rejected, preventing your registration and delaying any chance of a reunion.

What is the Birth Parent Application for the Adoption Reunion Registry?
This is the official Nevada state form for a birth parent who placed a child for adoption to register their consent for future contact with the adult adoptee. The Nevada Adoption Reunion Registry is a mutual consent registry, meaning contact can only happen if the adult adoptee has also registered.
By filing this form, you are:
Legally expressing your willingness to be contacted by the adult adoptee.
Allowing the DCFS to share your identifying information if a match is made.
Creating a potential pathway for communication or a reunion.
To verify your identity and ensure your consent is legally documented, the Nevada DCFS requires your signature on this application to be notarized.
