Utah - $5,000 Notary bond without E&O coverage — required surety bond in Utah. Apply online in minutes.
A Utah Notary Bond is a surety bond that acts as a financial guarantee protecting the public from damages caused by a notary's improper or negligent acts. It ensures that the notary public performs their duties ethically and in accordance with state guidelines. This specific bond does not include Errors and Omissions (E&O) coverage, which is a separate policy designed to protect the notary personally.
Individuals applying for a new notary public commission in the state of Utah generally need to secure this surety bond. It is also typically required for existing notaries who are applying to renew their active commission.
The state obligee generally requires this bond to protect consumers and the public from financial harm caused by a notary's intentional fraud, negligence, or mistakes. If a notary violates their official duties, the injured party can file a claim against the bond to recover losses. Because exact requirements vary, you should always verify the current mandates directly with the issuing agency.

No, a standard notary surety bond protects the public, not the notary. If you want personal protection against unintentional mistakes or false claims, you must obtain a separate Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance policy.
Premiums vary based on the applicant and standard underwriting procedures. For exact figures, please apply online or call Noah Insurance Agency at 814-718-0060.
Notary bonds typically run concurrently with your official notary commission term. However, since requirements vary, please verify your specific term length and expiration dates directly with the issuing agency.
If a valid claim is filed due to a notarization error or misconduct, the surety company will compensate the harmed party up to the maximum bond penalty. You are then legally required to repay the surety company in full for all claims and associated costs.
