Who is Required to Secure this Bond

A California Notary Public Bond in the amount of $15,000 is mandatory requirement to be filed with the State of California, as set forth in the Government Code sections 8212 to 8214, for all registered notary publics.

Bond Requirement Specifics

The Notary Public Bond requirement is set forth in the Government Code sections 8212 to 8214, and provides protection to the public against damaged caused by acts made by the notary public, characterized by misconduct or negligence in the form of fraud, dishonesty, misstatement, misrepresentation, deceit and or any unlawful acts or omissions.

Who is protected Under this Bond

Any person or persons for whom the notary public rendered notary services.

Underwriting Process

California Notary Bonds are INSTANTLY ISSUED through our web-site without the need of a personal credit check of the notary public so long as they have been provided a valid notary commission by the Secretary of State.

What you Need to do Once you have your Bond

As the original notary bond must be filed with the Recorder in the County in which the notary public is doing business, the original bond will be mailed to the notary public within 24 hours of submitting their application online for filing with the County Recorder and will be inclusive of a power of attorney for the Bonding Company, as well as a notary acknowledgement for the attorney-in-fact. The bond will be place in regular mail unless the notary opts to pay the fee associated with overnight delivery during the application process.
