Your Pennsylvania Notary Surety Bond

Pennsylvania law requires all Notaries to purchase and maintain a $10,000 Notary surety bond for the duration of their 4-year commission. The cost of a Pennsylvania Notary bond is $30, and protects the public of Pennsylvania against any financial loss due to improper conduct by a Pennsylvania Notary. The bond is NOT insurance protection for Pennsylvania Notaries.


Do I need anything besides my bond?

You can purchase your Pennsylvania Notary bond on its own or as part of a Pennsylvania Notary package. To purchase a package that includes your state-required Notary bond, training course, official Notary stamp, journal and everything you need to properly perform your duties, see our New Pennsylvania Notary or Renewing Pennsylvania Notary packages.

Processing your Pennsylvania Notary bond

Once you have received your bond and oath forms from the state (document with a barcode), send a copy of the bond and oath forms to the NNA via Email or Fax (please provide your city/township/borough along with the documents). Your bond will then be mailed to you.

Once your bond is received, go to the Recorder of Deeds in your county to take your oath and record your bond. You must record your bond within 45 days from your appointment date.
