Nevada notary law requires valid, government-issued photo identification for all document signers. For RV, boat, and vehicle title transfers or bill of sale notarizations in Boulder City, we accept the following unexpired photo IDs: Nevada driver's license or state ID card, U.S. passport or passport card, military ID (active duty or retired with photo), out-of-state driver's license (if currently valid), and permanent resident cards (green cards) with photos.

The ID must display your current legal name, photograph, signature, and be issued by a government agency. Expired IDs cannot be used for notarization even if recently expired. If your name on the ID doesn't match the name on the bill of sale or title due to marriage, divorce, or legal name change, bring supporting documentation such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order showing the name change.

Both buyer and seller must present valid IDs when both signatures require notarization. For vehicle sales specifically, ensure the name on the seller's ID matches the name on the current title exactly. Discrepancies can cause Nevada DMV to reject the transfer. If you have questions about your specific ID situation, call us at (702) 748-7444 before your appointment.

We bring ID verification tools and expertise in Nevada notary identification requirements, ensuring your Boulder City vehicle sale documents are properly executed for smooth DMV processing.

If a county recorder rejects your deed due to improper notarization (wrong date, missing notary signature, incorrect venue, incomplete acknowledgment language), the remedy is typically re-notarization of the same deed rather than drafting an entirely new document. Minor errors in the notarial certificate can sometimes be corrected through amendment; major errors require the grantor to re-sign and have the document re-notarized.

Typical Fixes (No New Deed Needed):

✅ Re-notarization with corrected certificate attached
✅ Corrective affidavit prepared by notary explaining & curing the error
✅ Notary amendment striking through incorrect information and initialing corrections
✅ New notarial certificate on same deed (notary signs and dates the new certificate)

❌ When You May Need a New Deed:

• The legal description of property contains errors
• Grantor or grantee name is misspelled or incorrect
• The property transfer terms or conditions were altered
• The deed was never properly signed to begin with (beyond notary's control)

🏠 Next Steps:

Contact your title company immediately with the recorder's rejection letter. They'll advise whether a re-notarization, corrective affidavit, or new deed is required. Professional real estate closing notaries in Henderson and Downtown Summerlin provide same-day or next-business-day re-notarization to prevent closing delays.
