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.

Yes, Lake Mead Mobile Notary serves all Boulder City neighborhoods including Eldorado Valley, Lakeview, and all remote or foothill properties within the 89005 and 89006 zip codes. We travel to residential areas throughout Boulder City's 208 square miles, including properties in outlying desert and mountain locations.

Eldorado Valley residents often appreciate mobile notary service because the drive into downtown Boulder City or to UPS Store locations adds 20-30 minutes each way to simple notarization tasks. We eliminate that drive by coming directly to your property, whether you need bill of sale notarizations for vehicle sales, estate planning documents like powers of attorney and living wills, real estate closing documents, or general affidavits and notarizations.

Lakeview neighborhood access is straightforward, and we're familiar with the area's layout near Lake Mead. For more remote Eldorado Valley properties, providing your address and any relevant access instructions (gate codes, directions from main roads, landmarks) helps us arrive efficiently at your scheduled appointment time.
