Notary Public Bond

 

The $10,000 notary bond shall be executed by a licensed Missouri surety for a term of four years commencing on the commission’s issue date and terminating on its expiration date. The notary bond is separate from any other bond coverage the notary might presently have and is required in addition to other bond coverage. The bond should be executed by the licensed Missouri surety within 60 days after the application is approved by our office. The bond must be written for a term of four years, covering the same dates as the term of office.

An errors and omissions policy does not replace a bond. An errors and omissions policy is not required by law, but may be purchased as it protects the notary public and pays for any charges the notary might owe for legal fees and costs should the notary be sued.
