WASHINGTON STATE NOTARY BONDS
Notaries are required to maintain surety bonds for the State of Washington. 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 Washington (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 Washington State Notary Law is as follows:
