Your Michigan Notary Surety Bond

Michigan law requires all Notaries to purchase and maintain a $10,000 Notary surety bond for the duration of their 6-year commission. The cost of a Michigan Notary bond is $50, and protects the general public of Michigan against any financial loss due to improper conduct by a Michigan Notary. The bond is NOT insurance protection for Michigan Notaries.


Do I need anything besides my bond?

You can purchase your Michigan Notary bond on its own or as part of a Michigan Notary package. To purchase a package that includes your state-required Notary surety bond, recommended supplies such as an official Notary stamp and journal, NNA Hotline support and everything you need to properly perform your duties, see our New Michigan Notary or Renewing Michigan Notary packages.

How to process your bond

After placing your Michigan bond order, your bond and application will be emailed or mailed to you within 24-48 business hours, but not more than 60 days prior to your current commission expiration date. Once you have received your bond and application, take your completed application and Notary bond to your county clerk.


We recommend you protect yourself for the length of your 6 year Notary commission term with E&O insurance.
