UTAH NOTARY BONDS
Notaries are required to maintain surety bonds for the State of Utah. 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 $5,000 notary surety bond is required for all applicants in the state of Utah (new and renewal) applying for a notary public commission. This bond is an insurance agreement making the surety liable for up to $5,000 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 Utah State Notary Law is as follows:
46-1-4. Bond:A notarial commission may not become effective until a constitutional oath of office and a $5,000 bond has been filed with and approved by the lieutenant governor. The bond shall be executed by a licensed surety for a term of four years commencing on the commission's effective date and terminating on its expiration date, with payment of bond funds to any person conditioned upon the notary's misconduct while acting in the scope of his commission.
The bond required under Subsection (1) may be executed by the Office of Risk Management for notaries public employed by a state office or agency.
