An encroachment release is used when a structure such as a fence, wall, shed, or landscaping sits inside a recorded easement corridor. The release acknowledges the condition and preserves the utility’s right to access the area in the future.

• What it covers: Identifies the encroaching improvement, sets access terms, and clarifies who pays to move or replace the item if maintenance requires removal.
• Why it is notarized: The release affects property rights and is recorded with the county. A proper acknowledgment allows the Recorder to accept and index it.
• Who signs: The owner of record or authorized representative. A utility, HOA, or developer may countersign depending on the form.
• Practical tip: Attach a clear exhibit map that matches the legal description to prevent rejection.

We notarize encroachment releases across Downtown Las Vegas, Downtown Summerlin, Summerlin South, and Henderson. See Affidavits and Sworn Statements, Real Estate Closing Notarization, and Notary with Witnesses Provided.

Yes, but you must submit a notarized EC-008 Emission Control Exemption Application with your mail-in renewal packet. Nevada DMV requires EC-008 notarization for all mail-in renewals that claim emission testing exemption, regardless of your reason for being out of state.

Common situations requiring notarized EC-008 for mail-in renewal include:

• Military deployment: Active duty stationed overseas or out of state where Nevada emissions testing is unavailable
• Snowbird residents: Nevada residents spending extended periods in Arizona, California, or other states during winter months
• Extended work travel: Long-term job assignments, contract work, or temporary relocations preventing return to Nevada
• College students: Nevada residents attending out-of-state universities and maintaining Nevada vehicle registration
• Medical situations: Extended care or treatment at out-of-state facilities

📬 Mail-In Renewal Process with EC-008:

1. Download and complete EC-008 form (leave signature section blank)
2. Have EC-008 notarized by a Nevada notary (required even if you're in another state)
3. Mail notarized EC-008 + renewal notice + payment to address on renewal notice
4. DMV processes in 10-14 business days and mails registration documents to your Nevada address

⚠️ Nevada Notary Requirement: Even if you're in California, Arizona, or another state, EC-008 must be notarized by a Nevada-commissioned notary with a Nevada seal. Out-of-state notaries are not accepted for Nevada DMV forms. If you're unable to return to Nevada, you have two options: coordinate with a Nevada mobile notary during a brief return visit, or have a Nevada resident with notarized power of attorney handle the renewal on your behalf.

💡 Planning Ahead: Many Nevada residents who winter in Arizona or travel frequently schedule mobile notary appointments at their Seven Hills, Summerlin, or Henderson homes before leaving the state. We notarize EC-008 forms in advance, and you mail them when your renewal notice arrives. This prevents renewal delays and late fees ($6 per month).

A Trustee signs with valid ID and evidence of capacity, typically a Certificate of Trust or relevant trust excerpt that authorizes real property transfers. A Power of Attorney (POA) agent signs with the original, properly executed Power of Attorney that grants authority to convey real estate. The signature block must show title capacity exactly, for example “Jane Doe, Trustee” or “John Smith, Attorney in Fact for Mary Smith.” We verify capacity and attach a Nevada-compliant acknowledgment so your deed records without delay. See Trusts and Estate Documents, Power of Attorney, and Real Estate Closing Notarization. Mobile appointments available in Rancho Oakey, Scotch 80s, West Sahara, and Painted Desert.

In Painted Desert, onsite notarization reduces drive time, avoids return trips, and keeps timelines on track for title and HOA. We align deed execution with ROFR, estoppel, and deed language so your property transfer notarization and real estate closing notarization move forward without defects. If the transfer requires international recognition we can add apostille services after notarization.

Nevada DMV does not legally require bill of sale notarization for vehicle transfers, but financial institutions, out-of-state buyers, and individual DMV title clerks frequently demand notarized bills of sale to verify transaction authenticity. Mobile bill of sale notarization provides same-day service at **$45 for single documents** and **$55 for multi-document packages** throughout Henderson and Las Vegas Valley.

Nevada Revised Statutes do not mandate notarization for Form VP-104 bill of sale, but Nevada DMV strongly recommends notarization when sellers and buyers cannot appear together at DMV offices or when vehicles involve outstanding liens, high values, or complex ownership situations. Most banks and credit unions refuse loan processing without notarized bills of sale regardless of Nevada law.

📋 When Notarization Is Strongly Recommended:

• Bank-financed purchases requiring lender-approved documentation
• Out-of-state buyers needing home-state DMV submission requirements
• High-value vehicles ($20,000+) where title insurance companies mandate notarization
• Private party sales where buyer and seller cannot appear together at DMV
• Auction purchases requiring additional transaction verification
• Dealer wholesale transactions involving floor plan financing

⚠️ Common DMV Processing Issues Without Notarization:

• Title clerks may reject unclear or suspicious signatures on VP-104 forms
• Processing delays while DMV contacts sellers for signature verification
• Banks refuse loan disbursement without notarized transaction proof
• Out-of-state DMV offices reject Nevada bills of sale lacking notarization
