About this bond

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.

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. Errors-and-omissions coverage is not required by statute — it is an optional protection for the notary; here it is bundled at a $5,000 limit.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

Is the notary bond required in Alaska? +
Yes. AS 44.50.034 requires a $2,500 surety bond before your notary commission takes effect. The E&O coverage bundled here is optional — it adds personal protection but is not itself a state requirement.
What's the difference between the bond and the E&O? +
The bond protects the public: if your misconduct harms someone, they recover against the $2,500 bond, and you repay the surety. The E&O protects you: it covers honest mistakes up to $5,000 so a simple error does not come out of your pocket.
Do I pay $2,500? +
No. The $2,500 is the bond's penal amount, not a deposit. You pay a small flat package premium for the bond plus the E&O — shown before you pay.
Is there a credit check? +
No — notary bonds this small are issued with no credit pull. The application has no credit section.
How long does the bond last? +
An Alaska notary commission runs four years, and your bond and E&O should cover the commission term. We send renewal reminders so neither lapses while you hold the commission.
