Your Illinois Notary Surety Bond

Illinois law requires all Notaries to purchase and maintain a $5,000 Notary surety bond for the duration of their 4-year commission. The Notary bond protects the public of Illinois against any financial loss due to improper conduct by an Illinois Notary. The bond is NOT insurance protection for Illinois Notaries. For your convenience, the Illinois state filing fee is included with your bond purchase. We will file your bond with the state, speeding up your approval.

$29 Notary Surety Bond

What happens to my bond?

In Illinois, bonds purchased from the NNA are processed by the NNA, and then sent to the state of Illinois. The bond is never sent to you directly. The bond is delivered to the state once your completed application has been sent to the NNA, as the bond form is part of the application.
