Only the principal (vehicle owner granting authority) must appear before the notary. The agent does not sign VP-136 and does not need to be present during notarization. Nevada DMV requires proper acknowledgment certificate with Nevada notary commission information, official seal impression, and original signatures only.

📋 Principal Requirements:

• Valid government photo ID (Nevada license, passport, state ID, military ID)
• Must be physically present before Nevada notary (no remote notarization)
• Must sign form in notary's presence (cannot pre-sign)
• Must be alert and understand the document's purpose
• Full legal name must match vehicle title exactly

✅ Form Completion Requirements:

• Principal and agent full legal names and addresses
• Vehicle year, make, model, and 17-character VIN (must match title)
• Specific powers granted (title transfer, registration, duplicate title, lien release)
• Nevada notarial acknowledgment certificate completed by notary
• Official Nevada notary seal impression (legible and complete)

⚠️ Common DMV Rejection Reasons:

• Missing or illegible notary seal
• Pre-signed forms (must sign in notary's presence)
• Incorrect VIN or vehicle description
• Out-of-state notary certificate (must be Nevada notary)
• Photocopied or faxed VP-136 (original required)

Nevada apostille coordination costs $95-165 per document plus the mandatory $20 Nevada Secretary of State fee. Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides document preparation, notarization (when required), and courier coordination to submit your documents to the state office and return completed apostilles to you.

Note: The apostille certificate itself is issued exclusively by the Nevada Secretary of State. Mobile notaries cannot issue apostilles—we provide preparation and submission coordination to ensure proper processing.

💰 Complete Cost Breakdown:

1. Nevada Secretary of State base fee: $20 per apostille (state-mandated, non-negotiable)
2. Document preparation and courier coordination: $95-165 depending on document complexity and urgency
3. Notarization (if document requires it first): $10-15 per signature for mobile notary services
4. Return shipping with tracking: $25-60 depending on delivery speed (standard, overnight, or same-day courier)

📋 When Notarization Is Required Before Apostille:

• Powers of attorney and affidavits (must have notarial certificate before Nevada SOS will authenticate)
• Personal consent forms and travel authorizations
• Corporate resolutions and business documents with officer signatures
• Educational transcripts if institution requires notarization

⚠️ Real-World Cost Example - Power of Attorney:

• Mobile notarization: $75 travel + $15 per signature = $90
• Document review and apostille coordination: $125
• Nevada Secretary of State fee: $20
• Expedited return shipping: $35
• Total: $270 for complete service

Different scenario - Birth certificate (already certified by issuing agency):

• No notarization needed (vital record already certified)
• Document coordination and submission: $95
• Nevada Secretary of State fee: $20
• Standard return shipping: $25
• Total: $140

💡 Why Professional Coordination Saves Money: DIY apostille submissions often result in rejection due to improper notarial certificates, missing authentication chains for out-of-state documents, or incorrect request forms. Each rejection adds 2-4 weeks delay and requires resubmission with additional state fees. Our apostille coordination service includes pre-submission document review to ensure 95%+ first-time acceptance rates.

🏢 Service Areas for Document Coordination: We provide mobile document preparation and apostille coordination throughout Henderson business districts, Las Vegas Strip hotels, Boulder City residences, and North Las Vegas corporate offices.
