About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the notary bond actually covers

Oklahoma requires every notary public to file a $1,000 surety bond with the Secretary of State under 49 O.S. § 2, conditioned on the faithful performance of notarial duties. The bond protects the public from financial harm caused by a notary's error, negligence, or misconduct.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Oklahoma (the obligee). If someone suffers a financial loss because of your notarial act, they can recover against the bond up to $1,000 — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

The bond is filed with your seal impression, oath of office, and loyalty oath within 60 days of your commission, with a small filing fee to the Secretary of State. The bond is not errors-and-omissions coverage for the notary; a separate E&O policy protects you, while the bond protects the public.

49 O.S. § 2 (Secretary of State)Oklahoma Statutes Title 49, Section 2 requires every notary public to file a good and sufficient bond to the State of Oklahoma in the sum of $1,000, approved by the Secretary of State, conditioned for the faithful performance of notarial duties for the four-year commission term. The bond is filed with the seal impression, oath of office, and loyalty oath within 60 days, with a filing fee.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Oklahoma notary bond?The statutory bond is $1,000, and the premium is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond.
Why $1,000?49 O.S. § 2 fixes the Oklahoma notary bond at $1,000 for the four-year commission. That is the amount almost every notary files — we default the application to it.
Is the bond the same as E&O insurance?No. The $1,000 bond protects the public if you make a notarial error; it is not coverage for you. If you want protection for yourself, a separate errors-and-omissions policy does that. The bond is what the state requires.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications like this one approve instantly. If a check is ever run on a bond like this, it's a soft pull that won't touch your score.
Where and when do I file it?File the executed bond with the Oklahoma Secretary of State within 60 days of your commission, along with your seal impression, oath of office, and loyalty oath, plus the filing fee.
