Nevada apostille coordination typically starts at $99 per document plus the mandatory $20 Nevada Secretary of State fee. Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides document intake, apostille request preparation, and courier coordination to submit your documents to the state office and return completed apostilles to you. Mobile notarization and shipping upgrades are added only when needed.

Note: The apostille certificate itself is issued exclusively by the Nevada Secretary of State. Mobile notaries cannot issue apostilles—we provide preparation and submission coordination to help ensure proper processing and faster approval.

💰 Complete Cost Breakdown (Typical Ranges):

1. Nevada Secretary of State base fee: $20 per apostille (state-mandated, per document)
2. Lake Mead apostille coordination fee: $99 for a standard Nevada document using regular processing
3. Notarization (if the document requires it first): usually $10–15 per signature for mobile notary services, plus any travel fee quoted in advance
4. Return shipping with tracking: about $0 for standard U.S. mail (included), or roughly $25–$60+ if you choose FedEx 2‑day, overnight, or a custom courier option

📋 When Notarization Is Required Before Apostille:

• Powers of attorney and affidavits (must have a proper Nevada notarial certificate before the Secretary of State will authenticate)
• Personal consent forms and travel authorizations
• Corporate resolutions and business documents signed by officers
• Educational documents if the school or registrar requires notarization of the record

• Standard mail return (included) or optional tracked upgrade (for example, $25–$35)
• Typical total: around $209–$229 for complete service depending on the return method you choose

• Nevada Secretary of State fee: $20
• Standard return shipping included, or upgrade to tracked carrier (for example, $25–$35) if you prefer
• Typical total: about $119 with standard mail, or roughly $144–$154 with upgraded shipping

💡 Why Professional Coordination Saves Money: DIY apostille submissions are frequently rejected for issues such as incorrect notarial wording, missing certified copies, or incomplete Nevada request forms. Each rejection can add weeks of delay and require paying new state fees to resubmit. Our apostille coordination service includes pre‑submission review designed to catch these problems in advance so your document is more likely to be accepted the first time.

🏢 Service Areas for Document Coordination: We provide mobile document preparation and apostille coordination throughout Henderson business districts, Las Vegas Strip hotels, Boulder City residences, and North Las Vegas corporate offices, with most appointments available Monday–Saturday. Online scheduling lets you choose the time and place that works best for you.

No. The NVL-003 Dormant Vehicle Affidavit is a sworn statement under penalty of perjury that your vehicle was not operated on public roads during the entire insurance lapse and registration suspension period. If you drove the vehicle even once during that time, signing NVL-003 would constitute perjury, a felony offense in Nevada.

This is the most agonizing situation discussed across insurance and legal forums: discovering your insurance lapsed weeks ago, having driven to work or the store a few times before noticing, and now facing an impossible choice. The legal reality is harsh but clear:

• If you drove during the lapse: You cannot legally file NVL-003. You must pay operating without insurance penalties through traffic court ($500-$1,000 first offense, $1,000-$1,500 second offense within 3 years)
• If the vehicle was truly dormant: NVL-003 with proper notarization protects you from operating without insurance charges and reduces reinstatement fees
• If you're uncertain: Consult a Nevada traffic attorney before signing any DMV affidavits. Perjury carries more severe consequences than the original violation

⚠️ Why DMV Requires Sworn Affidavit (Not Simple Form): Nevada law treats operating a vehicle without insurance as a serious misdemeanor. The NVL-003 sworn affidavit exists to help honest drivers who immediately parked their vehicles avoid criminal penalties. Because you're swearing under oath with notary witness, false statements are prosecutable as perjury. DMV can and does investigate suspicious NVL-003 filings, especially if there are reports of the vehicle being driven, parking tickets issued during the suspension period, or traffic camera records.

💡 The Honest Path Forward: If you drove during the lapse, the correct process is: (1) Obtain new insurance immediately, (2) Consult traffic attorney about penalty options, (3) Pay operating without insurance fines through court, (4) Complete DMV reinstatement with proof of court compliance. Total cost: $700-$1,500 depending on circumstances. Attempting to avoid this through false NVL-003 adds perjury charges (felony) and DMV fraud penalties to your existing problems.

🏠 When NVL-003 IS Appropriate: Insurance payment failed, you discovered it within days, immediately parked the vehicle and took rideshare/public transit, obtained new insurance, and can truthfully swear the vehicle never moved during the lapse. In this case, NVL-003 with proper notarization at your Paradise, Henderson, or Las Vegas home legitimately protects you from operating without insurance penalties.
