What it is and who needs it.
What the bond and the E&O each do
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 someone a financial loss, that person can recover against the $2,500 bond.
The bond does not protect the notary. If a claim is paid on the bond, the surety can seek repayment from you. That's where errors-and-omissions coverage comes in: the bundled $5,000 E&O protects you personally against honest mistakes — a missing seal, a wrong date — up to its limit.
E&O is optional under Alaska law; the $2,500 bond is the part that's required. Many notaries add the coverage anyway because the bond alone leaves them exposed. If you only want the required bond, we write that version too.

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 and E&O confirmation arrive 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 $45 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.
