Your Tennessee Notary Surety Bond

Tennessee law requires all Notaries to purchase and maintain a $10,000 Notary surety bond for the duration of their 4-year commission. The Notary bond protects the general public of Tennessee against any financial loss due to improper conduct by a Tennessee Notary. The bond is NOT insurance protection for Tennessee Notaries. 


Do I need anything besides my bond?

You can purchase your Tennessee Notary bond on its own or as part of an NNA Notary supply package. To purchase a Tennessee Notary supply package that includes your Notary bond, official Notary stamp, journal and everything you need to properly perform your duties, click on the Become or Renew buttons below.

Processing your Tennessee bond

The application and bond procedures in Tennessee vary from county to county. Some counties require the bond and application to be submitted to the county clerk simultaneously, while other counties require the commission letter to be received prior to receiving the bond. To find out your next step, visit our Tennessee County Information page. Visit the Tennessee County Clerk website to find more information on your local county clerk.


We also recommend you protect yourself for the length of your 6 year Tennessee Notary commission term with Errors & Omissions insurance.
