About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the notary bond does

Alaska requires a notary to file a $2,500 surety bond under AS 44.50.034 before receiving a commission. The bond protects the public — if a notary's misconduct causes a financial loss, the harmed person can recover against the $2,500 bond.

The bond does not protect the notary. If a claim is paid, the surety can seek repayment from you. This is the plain required bond; if you also want coverage for your own honest mistakes, add errors-and-omissions — we offer a version bundled with $5,000 of E&O.

Filing the bond is a condition of your commission taking effect, so it goes in with your notary application. We deliver the executed bond ready to file, and track the term so it does not lapse while you hold the commission.

AS 44.50.034Alaska Statute 44.50.034 requires a notary public to obtain and file a $2,500 surety bond, conditioned on faithful performance of notarial duties, before the commission takes effect. The bond protects the public; it is not insurance for the notary. Errors-and-omissions coverage is optional and not required by statute.
