Nevada — Document Preparer For At Least 2 But Not More Than 25 Registrants Bond
For a business entity filing under NRS 240A.123, two to 25 registered document preparers fall in the $50,000 bond tier. Current law counts registered employees and independent contractors, using the greatest number who will perform services at any time during the year. The Southern Agency’s entry concerns that worker-count tier, not the number of business entities under which one registrant performs services.

What this bond does
The entity files the bond with the Nevada Secretary of State on behalf of its covered registered preparers. For this two-to-25 route, the business entity is the principal; the Secretary’s posted $50,000 form names the State of Nevada as obligee. It is a specific business-entity filing, not an individual or sole-proprietor application.
- Who needs it
- A business entity with a peak roster of two to 25 registered employees or independent contractors performing document preparation services for it under NRS 240A.123. Count temporary and seasonal registrants too. A workforce that reaches 26 belongs outside this tier.
- Who it protects
- The condition protects clients and other persons with determined damages from specified covered-preparer conduct, including violations, wrongful service-contract failures, fraud, and negligence. It also secures certain unpaid Secretary of State civil penalties, attorney’s fees, and suit costs. The posted form limits aggregate surety liability to $50,000; it does not promise payment of every complaint.

Questions about this bond
Do registered independent contractors count toward the 25-person ceiling?
Yes. Current NRS 240A.123 and 240A.125 include contracted registrants as well as employees. Count the greatest number performing services at any time during the year, including temporary and seasonal work—not only the current payroll.
Does a covered worker need a second individual bond for the same entity work?
NRS 240A.123 exempts covered employees and independent contractors from a separate NRS 240A.120 bond for services provided for that entity. That does not automatically cover outside work or remove an individual’s registration requirements.
Is this the tier for one registrant working under several business entities?
No. This tier counts registered workers for the business entity’s NRS 240A.123 filing. A registrant’s sole-proprietor or multiple-business-entity arrangement has separate provisions in NRS 240A.124 and 240A.126. Follow the Secretary’s actual instructions for that arrangement.
Does the $50,000 figure establish the actual purchase option’s term?
No. It is the statutory amount for this entity tier and the amount on the Secretary’s corresponding template. The public option supplies neither an amount label nor a duration. Confirm the actual intended instrument and dates; annual proof of renewal is not a verified offered term.
