Texas Notary Bond

The State of Texas requires notaries to purchase a notary bond. A notary bond is a surety bond that protects the public against any wrongdoing on the part of a notary. The notary bond will compensate an individual harmed as a result of errors or mistakes performed by a Texas notary.

The Texas notary bond is a $10,000 bond and is valid throughout your 4-year notary commission in the State of Texas. In addition to the notary bond, it is also required that a Texas notary obtain a state-approved notary seal and pay a $21 state filing fee. The notary bond, state filing fee, and a notarial seal are available in our basic notary package.

IMPORTANT

The notary bond DOES NOT protect the notary!

Should an error or mistake occur while performing a notarial act, the Texas notary is liable to reimburse the surety company for the loss. A notary will need to purchase a Texas Notary Public Errors and Omissions Insurance policy to ensure his or her protection.

Don't confuse the state required notary bond with Notary Errors & Omissions Insurance policy.
