It depends on your specific bank's policy. Some banks require their in-house or affiliated notary to notarize signature cards for security and documentation purposes. Other banks accept notarizations from independent or mobile notaries as long as they're commissioned in Nevada and meet state requirements. The policy varies by institution and sometimes by branch, so always confirm with your bank's signature services or compliance department before using an outside notary.

Why Banks Restrict Signature Card Notarization:

Signature cards are foundational documents for account security. Banks want control over the notarization process to ensure standardized procedures, proper identity verification, and coordination with their compliance systems. If their in-house notary is only available limited hours (e.g., Tuesdays), they may create customer access problems—but this is a bank operations issue, not a legal one.

🔐 What You Can Do:

• Ask your bank's main office if they accept outside Nevada notaries
• Request written approval of a specific mobile notary before scheduling
• Ask if exceptions are granted for scheduling hardships (out-of-state residents, shift work, etc.)
• Negotiate: if the bank's notary isn't available for weeks, request temporary acceptance of outside notarization
• Escalate to branch management if denied without policy documentation

🚀 Workaround:

If your bank refuses outside notaries and their notary has limited availability, mobile notaries in Lake Mead Health Rehab and Rancho Bel Air areas can coordinate with bank staff or provide documentation that meets Nevada requirements. Some banks will reconsider when faced with professional credentials and proper notarial certificates.

Short answer: A Grant of Easement or Right of Way is completed with an acknowledgment. An Owner’s Affidavit, consent, or any sworn statement is completed with a jurat where the signer takes an oath or affirmation.

• Acknowledgment: Confirms identity and voluntary execution for the granting document. The notary verifies who signed and completes a Nevada compliant certificate so the Recorder can accept it.
• Jurat: Used when the signer is swearing to facts, such as an ownership or encroachment affidavit. The notary administers an oath or affirmation and witnesses the signature.
• Why this matters: Mixing certificate types is a common cause of rejection. If your easement packet was prepared out of state, we can add a compliant loose certificate when appropriate.
