The Secretary of State acts as the official record-keeper of the state of Nevada, and is the keeper of the State Seal of Nevada. The Secretary also maintains the official bond of the state treasurer, and serves on the State Board of Prison Commissioners, the State Board of Examiners, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Governing Board, the State Records Committee, the State Advisory Committee on Participatory Democracy and the Executive Branch Audit Committee.

The Secretary also maintains the state's registry of living wills and advance medical directives, and maintains a list of ministers and clergy in the state.
