MISSOURI NOTARY BONDS
Notaries are required to maintain surety bonds for the State of Missouri. This is because they handle important documents for citizens and a mistake, whether committed purposely or by accident, can have a disastrous financial consequence for people they are notarizing for. A surety bond protects the public from these mistakes for the policy amount of the bond.
A $10,000 notary surety bond is required for all applicants in the state of Missouri (new and renewal) applying for a notary public commission. This bond is an insurance agreement making the surety liable for up to $10,000 in damages for failure of the notary applicant to perform his or her duties that results in damage to the public.
The exact wording of Missouri State Notary Law is as follows:
Section 486.235.
1. During his or her term of office each notary public shall maintain a surety bond in the sum of ten thousand dollars with, as surety thereon, a company qualified to write surety bonds in this state. The bond shall be conditioned upon the faithful performance of all notarial acts in accordance with this chapter. Each notary public shall notify the secretary of state of changes on or riders to the bond.
2. Before receiving his or her commission, each applicant shall submit to the county clerk of the county within and for which he or she is to be commissioned, an executed bond commencing at least ninety days after the date he or she submitted the application to the secretary of state with a term of four years, which shall consist of the dates specified on the appli-cant’s commission.
