La. R.S. 35:71 historically required a Louisiana notary to maintain a $10,000 surety bond or an errors-and-omissions policy, renewed every five years. A 2024 amendment raises the bond to $50,000 and eliminates the E&O-only alternative effective February 1, 2026, with no grandfathering of existing bonds. Confirm the current amount with the Secretary of State before filing.
