Your Washington DC Notary Surety Bond

Washington DC law requires all Notaries to purchase and maintain a $2,000 Notary surety bond for the duration of their 5-year commission. The cost of a Washington DC Notary bond is $50, and protects the public of Washington DC against any financial loss due to improper conduct by a Washington DC Notary. The bond is NOT insurance protection for Washington DC Notaries.

Do I need anything besides my bond?

You can purchase your Washington DC Notary bond on its own or as part of a Washington DC Notary package. To purchase a package that includes your state-required Notary bond, Notary seal embosser, journal and everything you need to properly perform your duties, see our New Washington DC Notary or Renewing Washington DC Notary packages.

How to process your bond

Once you have received your appointment notice and Notary surety bond form from the District, send a copy of the surety bond to the NNA (Email or Fax). We will then activate your Notary surety bond and mail it via First Class Mail with a paid receipt. Bring your bond & receipt, seal stamp and Notary appointment notice to the Section Office within 60 days to file your bond.

We also recommend you protect yourself for the length of your 5 year District of Columbia Notary commission term with Errors & Omissions insurance.
