Yes. Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides bedside notarization at Sunrise Hospital for adult guardianship packets across Las Vegas and Henderson. Typical documents include Acceptance and Oath of Guardian, sworn affidavits or declarations that require a jurat, a Medical Power of Attorney, and HIPAA authorization forms. We verify identity, confirm willingness, and apply the correct notarial certificate so your filing is accepted by the court.

• What we notarize: Acceptance and Oath of Guardian, sworn affidavits, declarations, medical power of attorney, HIPAA release, caregiver consents.
• Jurat vs acknowledgment: Affidavits and declarations require an oath or affirmation and signing in our presence (jurat). Powers of attorney and some acceptance forms are typically acknowledgments that confirm identity and voluntary execution.
• Hospital coordination: We schedule around unit access, nurse availability, and security protocols. Please allow time for parking and check in.
• ID and capacity: Every signer must present valid government issued ID and be able to understand the document. If a signer lacks capacity, speak with counsel about next steps before scheduling.
• Witness support: If your form requires independent witnesses, request our Notary with Witnesses Provided service.

No. Nevada law requires the person signing a document to be physically present before the notary during notarization, OR use remote online notarization (RON) where the signer is connected via secure video and the notary verifies their identity digitally. You cannot notarize an emergency authorization if the pharmacist or authorized signer is completely absent. However, emergency scenarios have solutions through mobile notarization or RON.

Real Scenario: A Henderson pharmacy experienced an emergency drug supply situation requiring immediate notarized authorization to access an emergency wholesaler. The pharmacist-in-charge was on personal leave out of state. The pharmacy manager (not a pharmacist) attempted to sign and have notarized the emergency authorization document. This is problematic because (1) non-pharmacist cannot typically authorize pharmacy emergency procurement, and (2) the authorized signer (pharmacist) was not present for notarization.

Solution: The pharmacy needed to contact their pharmacist-in-charge remotely and conduct remote online notarization (RON) where the pharmacist verified their identity via video conference while the notary witnessed the signing electronically. This provided valid legal notarization while accommodating the emergency.

Nevada RON Requirements: Nevada permits remote online notarization for most business documents including emergency pharmacy authorizations, IF:

• The signer has valid government-issued ID
• The notary verifies identity through secure video conference
• The document can be electronically signed or re-printed after RON for physical signatures
• Both parties use compliant RON platforms

For True Emergencies: When the authorized signer is unavailable and cannot be reached remotely, the pharmacy must document the emergency circumstances and potentially use a durable power of attorney previously executed and notarized by an authorized pharmacy representative. This pre-signed document grants emergency authority without requiring new notarization during the crisis.

Lake Mead Mobile Notary coordinates both in-person emergency notarization (if the signer becomes available) and remote online notarization (if the signer must participate remotely). Same-day service ensures emergency authorizations are notarized while the supply situation is still critical.
