About this bond

What a notary bond is

Many states require a notary public to have a bond before they're commissioned. It protects the public if the notary makes a mistake or commits misconduct. It doesn't protect the notary: errors and omissions insurance does that.

FAQs

Common questions.

Does Wyoming require a notary bond?

See the facts above for the amount and term. The commissioning office lists the current rules.

Does the bond protect me as the notary?

No. It pays people harmed by a notary's error or misconduct, and the notary repays the surety. Errors and omissions insurance is what protects the notary.

What does it cost?

You pay a premium, not the bond amount. The surety sets the premium after it reviews your application, usually as a percentage of the bond amount. We show you the terms before you commit.
