Your South Dakota Notary Surety Bond

South Dakota law requires all Notaries to purchase and maintain a $5,000 Notary surety bond for the duration of their 6-year commission. The Notary bond protects the general public of South Dakota against any financial loss due to improper conduct by a South Dakota Notary. The bond is NOT insurance protection for South Dakota Notaries.
