About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the notary bond actually does

An Oklahoma notary public files a surety bond with the Secretary of State under 49 O.S. §2, conditioned on the faithful performance of the duties of the office. It is a public-protection bond: if a notary’s error or misconduct harms someone relying on a notarization, that person can recover against the bond.

The amount changed on January 1, 2026. Senate Bill 1028 raised the bond from $1,000 to $10,000 for commissions applied for or renewed on or after that date (it also added a national criminal background check and raised filing fees). Notaries whose commissions began before 2026 are not required to increase the bond mid-term — the $10,000 applies to new and renewing commissions.

This is the bond only — it does not include errors-and-omissions (E&O) coverage. The bond protects the public, not you; if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. E&O is separate, optional coverage that protects the notary. A notary bond runs the four-year commission term.

49 O.S. §2 (as amended by SB 1028, eff. 1/1/2026)Under 49 O.S. §2, an Oklahoma notary public must file a surety bond with the Secretary of State, conditioned on faithful performance, for the four-year commission term. SB 1028 raised the bond from $1,000 to $10,000 for commissions applied for or renewed on or after January 1, 2026, and added a criminal background check. Existing commissions are not required to increase mid-term — confirm which amount applies to you.
