Yes. A sworn Affidavit for a Nevada matter can be notarized anywhere by a legally commissioned notary. The critical details are:

• Correct certificate type: Affidavits require a jurat with an oath or affirmation and signature in the notary’s presence.
• Accurate venue: The certificate must show the actual state and county where the oath occurred, not Nevada.
• Local compliance: The out-of-state notary should use their jurisdiction’s compliant wording. If needed, the filing attorney can attach a Nevada-compliant form for clarity.

For clients who cannot travel, we coordinate facility signings and witnesses. See Affidavits and Sworn Statements, Hospital Notarization Service, and Notary with Witnesses Provided. We routinely serve legal teams near UNLV Campus Area, Downtown East, The District at Green Valley Ranch, and the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Same-day document preparation and notarization (when required) is available in Las Vegas, but the apostille certificate itself typically takes 6–8 weeks through Nevada Secretary of State standard processing. Lake Mead Mobile Notary coordinates document submission and tracking to expedite your timeline as much as possible within state processing limits.

Note: The apostille certificate is issued exclusively by the Nevada Secretary of State. Mobile notaries cannot issue apostilles—we provide document preparation, notarization when required, and courier coordination to ensure proper submission and tracking.

⏱️ Complete Timeline Breakdown:

1. Same day – Document preparation: Mobile notarization if required, document review for completeness, proper formatting for Nevada SOS submission
2. 1–2 business days – Courier submission: Hand delivery or tracked shipment to the Nevada Secretary of State office with confirmation and receipt
3. 6–8 weeks – Nevada SOS processing: Typical standard state processing time for apostille authentication
4. 1–2 days – Return delivery: Standard or expedited return shipping with tracking to your Las Vegas address

💡 Why Professional Coordination Matters: When we provide apostille coordination services, we help ensure: (1) Documents meet Nevada SOS requirements before submission (reducing the risk of rejection and resubmission delays), (2) Proper completion of apostille request forms, (3) Tracking throughout the process, (4) Secure return delivery. Self-submission often leads to extra delays when paperwork is incomplete or formatted incorrectly.

🏢 Service Areas for Same-Day Preparation: We provide same-day document preparation and mobile notarization throughout Las Vegas Strip hotels, Summerlin Centre business districts, Henderson corporate offices, and McCarran Center facilities. Urgent timeline coordination is available Monday–Saturday, 7 AM–9 PM with advance scheduling.
