Frequently Asked Questions

Why do notaries need a surety bond?

A notary bond protects the public — not the notary — from financial losses caused by a notary's mistakes or misconduct. Most states require it before issuing a notary commission.

How much is a notary bond?

Notary bonds are among the least expensive surety bonds available, typically costing $25–$75 for the entire commission term (usually 4 years). Requirements vary by state — we confirm the exact form and amount for your state.

Does a notary bond protect me if I make a mistake?

No. The bond protects members of the public who suffer a loss. If a claim is paid, the surety company may seek reimbursement from you. For personal protection, consider notary errors and omissions (E&O) insurance.

Can I get my notary bond online?

Yes. Notary bonds are instant-issue — no credit check, no forms to mail. You can purchase, download, and print your bond certificate the same day.
