How Do On-Set Notarizations Work in Las Vegas for Film, TV, and Live Events

In a Nevada mortgage package, only some documents are notarized. The most common notarized document is the Deed of Trust, which secures the property as collateral. Other pages that often require notarization include specific affidavits (identity, occupancy, or name variations) and certain title or escrow affidavits when the closing instructions call for them. Many lender forms are executed without notarization and only need signatures or initials.

• Typically notarized: Deed of Trust, corrections/limited power of attorney when required by title, occupancy or identity affidavits, compliance or gap affidavits, and select title affidavits.
• Usually not notarized: Promissory Note, Closing Disclosure, initial escrow disclosures, privacy notices, and most lender specific acknowledgments that only require signatures or initials.
• Jurat vs acknowledgment: Affidavits and sworn statements use a jurat with an oath or affirmation. The Deed of Trust and similar instruments use an acknowledgment to confirm identity and voluntary execution.
• Non borrowing spouse: In community property scenarios, a non borrowing spouse may need to sign certain title documents. The specific pages and notarizations depend on title instructions and vesting.

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).
