What this bond does

This is the one-registrant business-entity tier. The individual must be named as principal under the statutory exception, and the posted entity form includes both names and signatures—not just the company.

Who needs it
Business entities employing or contracting with only one registered document preparer at the year’s peak. It is distinct from the Secretary of State’s NT7 sole-proprietor individual form.
Who it protects
The State of Nevada is the obligee. The security addresses damages determined under the statute for covered misconduct and contractual failures, along with specified unpaid penalties and legal costs owed to the Secretary of State. The $25,000 sum is an aggregate limit, not separate coverage for each named principal.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Prepare the entity and registrant signatures

NRS 240A.123(6) specifically requires the sole registrant to be named as principal. The Secretary of State’s one-registrant business template names the entity and that person collectively and provides a business-entity signature block plus a Principal/Registrant Signature line.

Use the entity’s legal registration name, the preparer’s registered name and the principal business location. Do not leave the person off because the title says “business,” or substitute the separate individual template solely because both have a $25,000 sum.

Check the roster before selecting this tier

Current NRS 240A.125 counts the greatest number of registered preparers working for the entity at any time during the year, including employees, independent contractors, and temporary/seasonal registrants. If that peak exceeds one, confirm the appropriate tier rather than using this one-registrant form.

Wait for the Secretary’s bond-filing instructions following its eligibility review; the published application process expressly says not to purchase until instructed. When ready, Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Match both principal identities, State obligee, accepted $25,000 template, and effective date. After issuance, check the signatures and complete State submission. Its instructions call for an original signed new bond and annual renewal proof even when the form is continuous.

Questions about this bond

Can the bond name only my company?

Not on the posted one-registrant form. It names the business and registered preparer together and includes both signature roles; the statute expressly requires the sole registrant as principal.

Is this the same as the NT7 sole-proprietor form?

The Secretary of State publishes separate templates. Use the one matching the actual business structure and registration, not just the shared $25,000 amount.

Can I keep this tier if I add a registered contractor?

Recheck the peak roster. Current law counts contracted as well as employed registrants, so a second preparer is not excluded simply because they are not on payroll.
