Your Washington Notary Surety Bond

Washington 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 Washington Notary bond is $50, and protects the general public of Washington against any financial loss due to improper conduct by a Washington Notary. The bond is NOT insurance protection for Washington Notaries.


Do I need anything besides my bond?

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

How to process your bond

Once you have received your bond form and application, mail them both to:

Notary Public Program
Department of Licensing
P.O. Box 35001
Seattle, WA 98124-3401


We also recommend you protect yourself for the length of your 4 year Washington Notary commission term with Errors & Omissions insurance.
