Tennessee Notary Surety Bond
Tennessee law requires all Notaries to purchase and maintain a $10,000 Notary surety bond for the duration of their 4-year commission. The cost of a Tennessee Notary bond is $45, and protects the general public of Tennessee against any financial loss due to improper conduct by a Tennessee Notary. The bond is NOT insurance protection for Tennessee Notaries.
What happens after you purchase your bond
Most bonds purchased in Tennessee are emailed 24-48 hours after placing an order or after receiving your commission letter (depending on your county), but not more than 120 days prior to your expiration date.
Once you've received your bond, visit our Tennessee County Information page for next steps on how to process your bond. The process varies from county to county.
If you have not received your bond or need assistance, please contact us or call 1-800-876-6827.
We also recommend you protect yourself for the length of your 4-year Tennessee Notary commission term with Errors & Omissions insurance.
