Yes, a Nevada Quitclaim Deed must be notarized to be valid for recording. The grantor (person transferring the property) must sign in front of a Nevada Notary Public so the deed can be accepted by the County Recorder.
Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides fast, professional mobile notarization for Quitclaim Deeds across Las Vegas, Henderson, and all of Clark County. Starting at $65 for most local appointments.
A Quitclaim Deed that is not properly notarized will be rejected by the Recorder’s Office, which means the title transfer will not be reflected in the public record.

What is a Nevada Quitclaim Deed?
A Quitclaim Deed is a simple deed used to transfer whatever ownership interest the grantor currently has in a property, without any warranties or guarantees about title.
In Nevada, Quitclaim Deeds are commonly used to:
Transfer property between family members (parents to children, siblings, etc.).
Add or remove a spouse from title during marriage, separation, or divorce.
Move property into or out of a living trust or LLC.
Clear up possible “clouds” on title or correct prior vesting issues.
The grantor’s signature must be notarized or the Clark County Recorder will not accept the deed for recording, and the transfer will not be legally reflected in the chain of title.
Use a standard Nevada Quitclaim Deed form. You will need the grantor and grantee names, vesting (how the new owners will hold title), the full legal description, and the APN (Assessor’s Parcel Number). Do not sign until you are with the notary.
Do not sign before meeting with the notary. Nevada law requires the grantor to appear in person so the notary can confirm identity and witness the signature.
Quitclaim Deed: Transfers only the interest the grantor currently holds, if any, with no title warranties. Often used for family transfers, divorce, gifts, or cleanup of title issues.
General Warranty Deed: Includes broad title warranties and promises to defend against many title defects. Typically used in traditional sales with title insurance.
Your title company or attorney can advise which deed type is appropriate for a sale or complex transfer.
Step‑by‑Step Quitclaim Deed Notarization
1
Complete the Deed (But Do Not Sign)
Fill in the grantor and grantee information, vesting (how the new owner will hold title), the full legal description from the current deed or title report, and the APN. Leave the signature and notary sections blank.
2
Gather Grantor Identification
Each grantor must have a valid, unexpired, government‑issued photo ID such as a driver’s license, state ID, U.S. passport, or military ID. The name on the ID should closely match the name on title.
3
Schedule a Mobile Notary Visit
Book a mobile notary appointment at your home, office, attorney’s office, or title company. Same‑day and evening appointments are often available for urgent recordings.
4
Sign in the Notary’s Presence
The notary verifies the identity of each grantor, confirms they are signing voluntarily, and witnesses the signature on the deed. Do not sign ahead of time.
5
Notary Completes the Acknowledgment
The notary completes the Nevada acknowledgment certificate, notes the date and venue, signs, and applies the official Nevada notary seal to the deed.
6
Record with the County Recorder
Submit the notarized Quitclaim Deed to the appropriate County Recorder (for Clark County, 500 S. Grand Central Pkwy, Las Vegas). Once recorded, the public record reflects the new ownership.
