Why bond a notary public?
A notary is an appointed position by the Secretary of State’s department in a given state. Just like most public officials, the State specifies that the individual get a surety bond prior to receiving the commission. This bond “makes sure” that if the notary violates the public trust through neglect of their responsibilities, funds are available to indemnify the State for its loss.
The principal responsibility of notary publics is to ensure that the individual parties to an agreement are who they claim to be. The State may suffer a loss if the notary forgets to properly validate the identity of the parties.
As a public official, the notary public causes harm to the public trust by failing in their duty to confirm identity. If a Mississippi notary public doesn’t confirm identity and a loss occurs, an injured party can file a claim against that State for their loss, because the State was negligent through its appointed representative.
A surety bond is a guarantee of payment to the obligee (the State) when losses occur for a penalty amount of the bond. Surety bonds are usually provided by a surety company (typically an insurance carrier). The bond generally runs concurrently with the term of a notary’s commission.
You may be familiar with a home insurance policy. When a person has a rental property in Indiana loss, the insurance company pays the loss and writes off the loss. You aren’t required to reimburse the carrier for the claim. Unlike a property insurance policy however, a notary bond is simply a promise that the finances will be available should losses occur. The surety (insurance company) makes a payment to the State up to the penalty amount of the bond. However, this claim paid by the surety is not simply written off. The company will most likely seek reimbursement from the bonded person, the notary themself.
A notary bond protects the public. Who protects the notary? Insurance coverage is available to provide this protection – it’s called Notary Errors and Omissions and can also be purchased for a nominal fee from insurance carriers.

Home & dry
Showers…storms…drizzle…We hate to break it to you, but the average rainfall in the UK is between 700mm a year in East Anglia and 3,000mm a year in the Scottish Highlands*.
That’s a lot of potential for leaks, puddles or even worse.
But we’ve designed our doors to withstand even the heaviest downpour.
The doors are tested by the BSI by spraying two litres of water every minute directly at the door in their test chamber. That’s a serious amount of rain.
So even when it’s cats and dogs out there, your door will keep you snug and dry.
