Texas Notary Surety Bond

To become a Notary in Texas, the state requires you to provide proof of a $10,000 Texas Notary surety bond purchase. This bond is mandatory for the full 4-year term of your Notary commission and costs $50.

Notary bonds protect the public from financial harm caused by a Notary’s mistakes or misconduct. It is not insurance protection for Texas Notaries.


What happens after you purchase your bond

We'll email you within 1–2 business days with instructions on how to complete and submit your Notary application, bond form, and state fee through the state website.

Once your application is approved, you’ll get an email from the state with a link to your commission certificate.
