Under NRS Chapter 427A, a person who is unable to write a signature due to a physical disability may use a signature stamp to affix a signature “any time that a signature is required by law” (NRS 427A.755[1][a]).
“A person, government, governmental agency and political subdivision of a government must treat each signature affixed by [such a person] through the use of a signature stamp in the same manner as it treats a signature made in writing” (NRS 427A.755[1][b]).
