Your California Notary Surety Bond

California Notaries are required by law to purchase and maintain a $15,000 Notary surety bond for their entire 4-year term of office. The Notary bond protects the California public against financial loss due to improper conduct by a California Notary. The Notary bond is not insurance protection for California Notaries.

How to process your bond

Processing your California Notary Surety Bond is the last step in the commission process. Once you are a commissioned Notary, you have 30 DAYS from your Commission Certificate date to file your bond and take your oath of office at your county clerk's office.

NOTE: If you have missed your bond filing date, you will need an amended bond. Please call 1-800-876-6827 to speak with a experienced NNA customer care representative.
