Yes, the Nevada Joint Petition for Divorce (No Children) must be notarized. Both spouses (Petitioner and Co-Petitioner) must sign the petition and have their signatures acknowledged by a notary public for the Clark County Family Court to accept it for filing.
Lake Mead Mobile Notary offers professional and confidential mobile notarization for divorce documents. We can meet both parties together or schedule separate, private appointments anywhere in Las Vegas, Henderson, and throughout Clark County.
A petition filed without properly notarized signatures for both spouses will be rejected by the court clerk, causing unnecessary delays in your divorce proceedings.

The Role of Notarization in an Uncontested Divorce (No Children)
A Joint Petition is a streamlined process for couples without minor children who agree on all aspects of the divorce, such as the division of assets and debts and whether spousal support (alimony) will be paid. Because this petition acts as a legally binding agreement, the court requires the signatures of both parties be formally verified.
Notarization provides this official verification. It confirms the identity of both signers and signifies that they are entering into the agreement willingly and without duress. This is a crucial step for the court to grant the final divorce decree.
📄 Download the Joint Petition for Divorce (No Children) Packet
Official Clark County Family Court form
This is the official packet provided by the court's Self-Help Center. Complete all required sections, including the Affidavit of Resident Witness if applicable. Fill out all forms completely, but do not sign them before your notary appointment.
Both spouses must sign the petition in the physical presence of the notary. Signing ahead of time will invalidate the document.
Both spouses: Petitioner and Co-Petitioner must sign the main petition and have their signatures notarized.
Resident Witness: If one spouse is relying on the other's Nevada residency, a third-party witness must sign an Affidavit of Resident Witness, which also requires notarization.
Step-by-Step Notarization Process for a Joint Petition (No Children)
1
Complete the entire packet (do not sign)
Fill out the Joint Petition, Financial Disclosure Forms, and the Affidavit of Resident Witness (if needed). Ensure property and debt division is clearly outlined and agreed upon by both parties. Leave all signature lines blank.
2
Prepare valid photo IDs
Each spouse—and the resident witness, if applicable—must have a valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID. The name on the ID should match the name on the petition or supporting documents.
3
Schedule your notary appointment(s)
Book a mobile notary appointment. You can choose a single session for both spouses or two separate, private sessions. If a witness is involved, they can attend one of the spouse's appointments or schedule a third visit.
4
Sign the documents in front of the notary
The notary verifies each signer's identity and observes the signatures. The notary acts as an impartial witness, confirming that each person is signing voluntarily and understands what they are signing.
5
Notary completes the notarial certificates
The notary completes the required notarial wording on the petition and any affidavits, signs, and affixes the official Nevada notary seal. Your packet is then ready for filing with the court.
6
File the notarized packet with the court
Take the completed and notarized packet to the Clark County Family Court for filing. Once filed, the legal process for finalizing your uncontested divorce begins.
