Most pharmaceutical wholesalers and DSCSA-compliant vendors specifically require Nevada notarization for pharmacy licensing affidavits used in drug supplier relationships. Out-of-state notarizations may be accepted for the initial pharmacy licensing application with the Nevada Board of Pharmacy, but vendor quality agreements typically mandate Nevada notarization because the agreement is being executed in Nevada and DSCSA compliance requirements reference state-specific notarization standards.

Real Scenario: A pharmacy owner in Arizona submitted an Arizona-notarized pharmacy compliance affidavit to a Nevada-based pharmaceutical wholesaler. The wholesaler rejected it, stating "We require Nevada notarization for all pharmacy compliance documentation per our DSCSA audit standards." The pharmacy owner had to pay for re-notarization in Nevada, delaying the vendor relationship startup by one week.

Key Distinction:

• (1) Your Nevada Board of Pharmacy licensing application may accept out-of-state notarization if it's properly formatted
• (2) Pharmaceutical vendor quality agreements almost always require Nevada notarization because the vendor is in Nevada and the agreement is being executed under Nevada law

To avoid rejection delays, use Nevada notarization for all pharmaceutical vendor agreements, quality agreements, and compliance documentation. For initial Board of Pharmacy licensing, check with the Board to confirm whether out-of-state notarization is acceptable before submitting—most require Nevada notarization anyway.

Nevada DMV Form VP-136 remains valid until the specific transaction is completed or until the principal revokes the authorization in writing. There is no automatic expiration date, but most Nevada DMV offices recommend completing authorized transactions within 12 months of notarization to avoid questions about continuing validity. Professional VP-136 notarization ensures proper scope definition throughout Paradise and Las Vegas Valley.

Principals can revoke VP-136 authority at any time by providing written notice to the agent and Nevada DMV. For ongoing fleet management or business vehicle needs, principals may grant broad continuing authority, while one-time transactions like single vehicle sales typically use limited specific authority that terminates upon transaction completion.

⏱️ VP-136 Duration Considerations:

• No statutory expiration date under Nevada law
• Valid until transaction completed or principal revokes
• DMV clerks may question VP-136 older than 12 months
• Dealerships and title companies prefer fresh notarization per transaction
• Ongoing authority remains valid until formal revocation

📋 Best Practices for VP-136 Validity:

• One-time transactions: Obtain VP-136 notarization shortly before DMV visit
• Fleet management: Use continuing authority with clear scope definition
• Military deployment: Broad authority valid throughout deployment period
• Estate administration: Fresh VP-136 for each vehicle transfer recommended
• Out-of-state owners: Complete Nevada DMV transactions within 6-12 months

✅ Revocation Process:

• Principal provides written revocation notice to agent
• Principal notifies Nevada DMV of VP-136 revocation
• Agent must cease using revoked VP-136 immediately
• New VP-136 required for future transactions after revocation
