Florida Notary Surety Bond

Florida law requires all Notaries to purchase and maintain a $7,500 Notary surety bond for the duration of their 4-year commission. The cost of a Florida Notary bond is $69, and protects the public of Florida against any financial loss due to improper conduct by a Florida Notary. The bond is NOT insurance protection for Florida Notaries.

Your purchase includes:

  • $30 Notary Bond
  • $39 Florida State Filing Fee

What do I do after purchasing my bond?

Your original Florida Notary application is required to be submitted with your bond. Fill out your application with our safe and secure Florida Application Wizard or download a copy. When complete, print your application, sign it, and mail it to:

National Notary Association
9350 De Soto Ave, Chatsworth, CA 91311


Who files my bond?

In Florida, bonds purchased through the NNA are processed and submitted to the state by the NNA. The bond is never sent directly to you. Since the bond form is part of the Florida Notary application, it is delivered to the state after your completed application is submitted to the NNA.
