California Notary Surety Bond
California Notaries are required by law to purchase and maintain a $15,000 Notary surety bond for their entire 4-year term of office. The Notary bond protects the California public against financial loss due to improper conduct by a California Notary. The Notary bond is not insurance protection for California Notaries.
