What is a Notary Bond?
If you are planning to become a licensed notary, then your state may require you to purchase a notary bond first. A notary bond is a type of surety bond that is obtained to guarantee to the state that you will comply with all state regulations regarding notary duties. Failing to meet those requirements could mean paying a penalty or something as severe as losing your notary license altogether.
With a notary bond, just like any surety bond, there are three entities: the principal, the obligee, and the surety.
The principal is the individual or business that must purchase a notary bond. The obligee is the state agency that requires a notary to obtain a bond. The surety is the company that provides the financial backing of the bond.
If the state believes that there has been some misconduct on the part of the notary, then they will file a claim with the surety against the bond. If an investigation concludes that the claim is valid, then the surety will make a payment to the obligee in an amount up to the total bond amount. The principal will then need to pay back any amount that is paid to the obligee.
What is the cost of a notary bond?
The state sets the requirement for notary bond amounts. You will be responsible for paying just a fraction of that amount as your annual premium for a notary bond.
