Nevada — Document Preparer For An Individual Bond
For Nevada’s ordinary $25,000 individual surety filing, use the Secretary of State’s prescribed template with the individual as principal and any document-preparation DBA included. Entity coverage and a registrant’s multiple-business-entity arrangement have separate provisions. Wait for the Secretary’s filing instructions before purchasing through The Southern Agency; its application page expressly says not to buy until instructed.

What this bond does
The approved individual form names the State of Nevada as obligee. It benefits people determined in an action or proceeding to have suffered damage from the specified violations, wrongful failure to provide contracted services, fraud, negligence or other wrongful conduct, and covers specified unpaid amounts owed to the Secretary under NRS 240A.
- Who needs it
- An individual whom the Secretary instructs to use the ordinary $25,000 individual route, including the applicable sole-proprietor filing. Covered registered employees and independent contractors of an entity are exempt from a separate individual bond for that entity’s services. A registrant working under multiple business entities has separate provisions; this entry is not a universal $25,000 rule.
- Who it protects
- The form secures the stated document-service obligations and has an aggregate $25,000 limit. It does not authorize legal representation, guarantee a customer’s result or grant registration. The template provides for final, nonappealable Nevada judgments after written notice; State claim guidance also permits the surety to pay without awaiting court action.

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.

Questions about this bond
Should I purchase before applying to register?
No. The Secretary’s published process says to wait until eligibility qualifications are met and its bond-filing instructions arrive.
Can a sole proprietor use a business-entity form?
The Secretary says no. An NT7 sole proprietor uses the individual form with the individual named as principal and the relevant DBA included. Its guidance also requires separate individual instruments for sole-proprietor employees and each spouse/domestic partner in that arrangement.
Does the $25,000 limit reset every year?
The individual template says the instrument runs continuously with an aggregate limit. Annual registration/continuation evidence does not promise a newly restored $25,000 every year.
Does cancellation end earlier covered claims?
The template preserves claims arising from acts or omissions alleged while it was effective. Follow the actual 30-day notice provisions and maintain required coverage; registration is suspended if required coverage ends or the amount is exhausted.
Does one individual always use a $25,000 bond?
No. NRS 240A.120 states a default subject to the entity-coverage and other provisions. Covered workers have the limited NRS 240A.123 exception, and NRS 240A.124 and 240A.126 address sole-proprietor or multiple-business-entity arrangements. Use the Secretary’s instructions for the actual filing, not a universal amount inferred from this title.
