Before issuing any license, the license agent shall satisfy himself or herself of the identity of the applicant and the place of the applicant’s residence, and may require any applicant to present proof of the applicant’s identity and residence. 4. A license agent is responsible to the Department for the collection of the correct and required fee, for the safeguarding of the money collected by the agent and for the prompt remission to the Department for deposit in accordance with NRS 501.356 of all money collected. The Department shall furnish to the license agent receipts for all money which the agent remits to it.
