What it is and who needs it.
What the notary bond actually covers — and an important change
A Louisiana notary surety bond is a public-protection guarantee. It stands behind your faithful performance as a notary — if you notarize for someone committing fraud, fail to actually witness a signature, or otherwise breach your duties and harm someone, the harmed party can recover against the bond. The bundled E&O coverage is different: it protects you from the cost of unintentional errors.
For years, La. R.S. 35:71 let a notary satisfy the requirement with a $10,000 surety bond or an E&O policy, renewed every five years. This product pairs the $10,000 bond with $10,000 of E&O so you carry both.
The law changed. A 2024 amendment to La. R.S. 35:71 raises the required bond to $50,000 and removes the E&O-only option, effective February 1, 2026, with no grandfathering. Before you rely on a $10,000 bond, confirm the current requirement with the Louisiana Secretary of State — we will issue the amount your commission actually requires, at a flat 3% either way.
