What is this bond?

A District of Columbia notary bond is a surety bond that guarantees a commissioned notary public will execute their duties ethically and in accordance with local regulations. It protects the public from financial harm caused by a notary's improper actions or negligence. This specific bond provides a financial guarantee but does not include Errors and Omissions (E&O) coverage to protect the notary personally.

Who needs it?

Individuals applying for or renewing a notary public commission in the District of Columbia typically need to secure this surety bond. It is a mandatory part of the application process for those authorized to administer oaths, take acknowledgments, and perform other notarial acts. Please verify your exact requirements with the local commissioning agency before applying.

Why is it required?

The commissioning authority generally requires this bond to protect the public from fraudulent or incompetent notarial acts. By mandating a bond, the obligee ensures that citizens have a financial recourse if they suffer losses due to a notary's misconduct.
