Michigan Notary Surety Bond
All applicants for a Michigan Notary Public commission must secure a $10,000 surety bond. Required by the Michigan Department of State, the bond provides a financial guarantee the Notary will perform their official duties in accordance with state law.
Michigan Notary Bond Cost
The $10,000 Michigan Notary bond costs $50 for a six-year term. Purchase the bond on its own or bundle it with a Notary journal and stamp.
A Notary bond protects the public and not the Notary. If you’re looking to protect yourself from potential claims, Notary E&O insurance can help cover legal expenses.
Purchasing Your Notary Bond
For most counties, your Michigan Notary bond will be emailed to you within 24–48 business hours, but no more than 60 days before your current commission expires.
