For traditional notarizations, a Nevada notary public commission only works within Nevada - both the notary and signer must be physically in Nevada. However, Nevada notaries can perform Remote Online Notarization (RON) for out-of-state signers while the notary remains physically in Nevada. Lake Mead Mobile Notary offers both traditional mobile notarization throughout Las Vegas and RON services for clients located outside Nevada. For international document use, Nevada notarizations may require apostille certification through the Nevada Secretary of State, which we can coordinate.

Yes, many hotels allow notarizations in their lobbies, lounges, or business centers. We recommend confirming with the hotel’s front desk or concierge before your appointment.

No, you cannot notarize your own will in Nevada. Nevada law requires a licensed, impartial notary public to witness the signing and complete the self-proving affidavit. The notary must verify the identity of all parties, ensure voluntary execution, and confirm the testator's mental capacity. Using a professional Nevada notary like Lake Mead Mobile Notary ensures proper compliance with Nevada Revised Statutes, prevents costly mistakes, and provides the legal protections that self-proving wills offer.

Yes, we can notarize documents in any language as long as the notarial certificate is in English and we can communicate with the signer to verify their identity and willingness to sign. The document content can be in Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, or any language, but Nevada law requires the notarial certificate portion to be in English. This is common for international business contracts, adoption papers, and apostille documents.
