TENNESSEE NOTARY BONDS
Notaries are required to maintain surety bonds for the State of Tennessee. 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 Tennessee (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 Tennessee State Notary Law is as follows:
8-16-104. Surety bond: Every notary public, before entering upon the duties of office, shall give bond executed by some surety company authorized to do business in Tennessee as surety, or with two (2) or more good sureties, to be approved by the county legislative body, in the penalty of ten thousand dollars ($10,000), payable to the state of Tennessee, conditioned for the faithful discharge of the notary's duties. The bond shall be filed in the office of the county clerk in the county where elected.
