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.

Only the principal (vehicle owner granting authority) must appear before the notary. The agent does not sign VP-136 and does not need to be present during notarization. Nevada DMV requires proper acknowledgment certificate with Nevada notary commission information, official seal impression, and original signatures only.

• Valid government photo ID (Nevada license, passport, state ID, military ID)
• Must be physically present before Nevada notary (no remote notarization)
• Must sign form in notary's presence (cannot pre-sign)
• Must be alert and understand the document's purpose
• Full legal name must match vehicle title exactly

✅ Form Completion Requirements:

⚠️ Common DMV Rejection Reasons:
