Pennsylvania Notary Bonds

A notary bond is a legally binding contract guaranteeing the notary will complete tasks ethically and in adherence with the law. If a notary fails to perform his or her duties, a claim can be made against the bond by the state and/or those harmed as a result of the notary’s actions. If this claim is valid, the bond amount can be used to reimburse the harmed parties, thereby protecting both the state and the consumers from suffering a financial loss.

Pennsylvania requires a notary to carry a $10,000 PA notary bond during each four-year commission. As a member of the Pennsylvania Association of Notaries, we can offer you guidance in your guarantee.

Your mandatory four-year $10,000 notary bond is included along with your membership when you purchase a package to become a notary or renew your notary comission. Upon your appointment, your bond is completed and sent to you.
