What is an Alabama notary bond?
An Alabama notary bond is a three-party agreement in which a bonding (surety) company financially guarantees to the Alabama Secretary of State that the Alabama notary will perform their duties lawfully, ethically, and in accordance with Alabama notary law. If a claim is made and approved, the surety company will pay the claim and seek reimbursement from the notary.
Why do I need an Alabama notary bond?
To protect the public from financial loss caused by a notary’s negligence or misconduct, Alabama law requires all first-time notary applicants and notaries renewing their commissions to maintain a four-year, $50,000 Alabama notary bond for the duration of the notary’s commission term.
An Alabama notary bond does not provide any financial protection to the Alabama notary. It solely protects the public. For that reason, many Alabama notaries choose to purchase a notary errors and omissions (E&O) insurance policy.
