Mobile Notary Services at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center

Nevada apostille coordination costs $95-165 per document plus the mandatory $20 Nevada Secretary of State fee. Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides document preparation, notarization (when required), and courier coordination to submit your documents to the state office and return completed apostilles to you.

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 ensure proper processing.

💰 Complete Cost Breakdown:

1. Nevada Secretary of State base fee: $20 per apostille (state-mandated, non-negotiable)
2. Document preparation and courier coordination: $95-165 depending on document complexity and urgency
3. Notarization (if document requires it first): $10-15 per signature for mobile notary services
4. Return shipping with tracking: $25-60 depending on delivery speed (standard, overnight, or same-day courier)

📋 When Notarization Is Required Before Apostille:

• Powers of attorney and affidavits (must have notarial certificate before Nevada SOS will authenticate)
• Personal consent forms and travel authorizations
• Corporate resolutions and business documents with officer signatures
• Educational transcripts if institution requires notarization

⚠️ Real-World Cost Example - Power of Attorney:

• Mobile notarization: $75 travel + $15 per signature = $90
• Document review and apostille coordination: $125
• Nevada Secretary of State fee: $20
• Expedited return shipping: $35
• Total: $270 for complete service

Different scenario - Birth certificate (already certified by issuing agency):

• No notarization needed (vital record already certified)
• Document coordination and submission: $95
• Nevada Secretary of State fee: $20
• Standard return shipping: $25
• Total: $140

💡 Why Professional Coordination Saves Money: DIY apostille submissions often result in rejection due to improper notarial certificates, missing authentication chains for out-of-state documents, or incorrect request forms. Each rejection adds 2-4 weeks delay and requires resubmission with additional state fees. Our apostille coordination service includes pre-submission document review to ensure 95%+ first-time acceptance rates.

🏢 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. Same-day mobile appointments available Monday-Saturday with online scheduling.

Yes. Nevada law (NRS 108.297) requires you to account for and pay any surplus from the lien sale. After recovering your documented towing, storage, and auction fees, you must pay excess proceeds first to lienholders, then to the vehicle owner. You cannot simply keep all auction proceeds because you obtained clean title through VP-147. This is one of the most misunderstood aspects of Nevada lien sales.

A shocked Reddit discussion illustrates the confusion: "I always thought the right thing would be for the tow vendor to pay any excess from the sale over their storage costs to the lienholder but they take possession of the whole vehicle?" The answer: Taking possession for lien sale is legal, but keeping surplus proceeds beyond documented costs is illegal conversion of property.

📋 Nevada Surplus Distribution Hierarchy (NRS 108.297):

1. First priority - Your documented costs: Towing charges, storage fees at your posted daily rate, administrative costs for title search and certified mail, auction fees
2. Second priority - Lienholders on DMV record: If auction sale exceeds your costs, remaining funds go to the first lienholder (bank) up to the amount of their lien. If surplus still remains, it goes to second lienholder if applicable
3. Third priority - Original owner: Any remaining surplus after lienholder(s) are paid must be sent to the registered owner at their DMV-registered address via certified mail
4. Unclaimed surplus: If owner doesn't respond to surplus notification within required time (typically 30-60 days), consult legal counsel about escheat to the state

⚠️ Real-World Example of Surplus Calculation:

• Vehicle sells at Copart for $8,500
• Your documented costs: Towing $250, storage 45 days at $30/day = $1,350, auction fees $400 = $2,000 total
• Remaining: $6,500 surplus
• Lienholder on DMV record: Bank with $12,000 lien = Bank gets entire $6,500
• Nothing left for owner (their debt to bank reduced by $6,500)

Different scenario - No lien on record:

• Same $8,500 sale price, same $2,000 costs
• No lienholder on DMV title
• You must send $6,500 to the registered owner with accounting of costs and surplus calculation

💡 Why This Matters for VP-147 Compliance: When you sign your notarized VP-147 affidavit, you're swearing under oath that you followed Nevada's lien sale procedures. Part of those procedures is accounting for surplus. If the owner later discovers you kept $5,000 in surplus that legally belonged to them or their lender, you face: (1) civil lawsuit for conversion, (2) potential perjury charges for false VP-147 affidavit, (3) loss of your tow operator license, (4) criminal charges for theft by conversion.

🏢 Best Practice for Tow Operators: Create a standard surplus calculation worksheet for every lien sale. Document: (1) Auction gross proceeds, (2) Itemized costs (towing, storage with daily rate and number of days, title search, certified mail, auction fees), (3) Net surplus calculation, (4) Lienholder payment if applicable with proof of payment, (5) Owner surplus payment with certified mail proof of delivery. Keep these records for 3-5 years. When we notarize VP-147 forms at Sun City Aliante or other Clark County tow yards, we can review your surplus calculation to ensure it's properly documented before you sign under oath.
