PENNSYLVANIA NOTARY BONDS
Notaries are required to maintain surety bonds for the State of Pennsylvania. This is because they handle important documents for citizens and a mistake, whether committed purposely or by accident, can have a disastrous financial consequence for people they are notarizing for. A surety bond protects the public from these mistakes for the policy amount of the bond.
A $10,000 notary surety bond is required for all applicants in the state of Pennsylvania (new and renewal) applying for a notary public commission. This bond is an insurance agreement making the surety liable for up to $10,000 in damages for failure of the notary applicant to perform his or her duties that results in damage to the public.
The exact wording of Pennsylvania State Notary Law is as follows:
Section 8. Oath of Office; Bond; Recording. – Every notary, upon appointment and prior to entering upon the duties of the office of notary public, shall take and subscribe the constitutional oath of office, and shall give a surety bond, payable to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($ 10,000), which bond shall, after being recorded, be approved by and filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Every such bond shall have as surety a duly authorized surety company or two sufficient individual sureties, to be approved by the Secretary of the Commonwealth, conditioned for the faithful performance of the duties of the office of notary public and for the delivery of the notary's register and seal to the office of the recorder of deeds of the proper county in case of the death, resignation or disqualification of the notary within thirty (30) days of such event. Such bond, as well as the commission and oath of office, shall be recorded in the office of the recorder of deeds of the county in which the notary maintains an office at the time of appointment or reappointment. The commission of any notary hereafter appointed who shall, for forty-five (45) days after the beginning of the term, neglect to give bond and cause the bond and the commission and oath to be recorded, as above directed, shall be null and void.
