Read the first 7 Journal Requirements flashcards as text

  1. A member of the public asks a Nevada notary for a copy of a specific journal entry. What is the notary's obligation?

    Answer: Provide a certified copy of the requested entry upon payment of any allowed fee

    A Nevada notary must provide a certified copy of a journal entry to a person who requests it, and may charge the permitted fee.

  2. Why does Nevada require journal entries to be made in ink and in sequence?

    Answer: To prevent alteration and preserve a reliable chronological record

    Permanent, sequential entries protect the journal's integrity as evidence of what occurred and when.

  3. A Nevada notary willfully refuses to maintain a journal of notarial acts. What is a likely consequence?

    Answer: Discipline such as suspension or revocation of the commission and possible criminal penalty

    Willful failure to keep the required journal is a violation of NRS 240 that can lead to discipline and misdemeanor liability.

  4. A Nevada notary performs an electronic notarization. Where must that act be recorded?

    Answer: In an electronic journal maintained by the electronic notary

    Nevada electronic notaries must record electronic notarial acts in an electronic journal.

  5. During a busy signing, a Nevada notary forgets to collect the signer's journal signature and the signer has left. What does this illustrate?

    Answer: The entry is deficient because the signer's signature is a required element

    An entry missing the signer's signature fails to meet Nevada's journal requirements, so the signature should be obtained before the signer leaves.

  6. How many active paper journals should a Nevada notary maintain at one time?

    Answer: One at a time

    A notary should keep a single active journal so all acts appear in one sequential record, starting a new one only when the current journal is full.

  7. A Nevada notary's journal is destroyed in a house fire. Along with notifying the Secretary of State, what should the notification include?

    Answer: An explanation of the circumstances of the loss

    The notary must inform the Secretary of State that the journal was lost or destroyed and how it happened.
