About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond and the E&O each cover

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, and the surety can seek repayment from you.

The $10,000 of errors-and-omissions coverage on this listing is different: it protects you. E&O is optional insurance that covers your own legal costs and honest mistakes, so a claim does not come out of your pocket. Alaska requires only the bond; the bond-only version and a version with $5,000 of E&O are linked below.

Filing the bond is a condition of your commission taking effect, so it goes in with your notary application. An Alaska notary commission runs four years; 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, like the $10,000 on this listing, is optional and not required by statute.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $2,500 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The carrier issues this bond for a single 4-year term; the term cannot be changed at checkout.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with your commission. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Lieutenant Governor / Notary Public Office. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $75 at the $2,500 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
