What Is the Alaska Notary Public Bond?

Before Alaska hands you a notary commission, you post a $2,500 bond. It is one of the last steps.

The bond is really for the public. If someone loses money from your mistake, they can claim up to $2,500. You then reimburse the surety.

Many notaries also carry errors and omissions (E&O) insurance. It covers your defense if a claim comes in. The bond cannot do that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Alaska notary bond protect me?

No. The bond protects the public, not you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. To protect yourself, add an errors and omissions (E&O) policy.

How fast can I get my Alaska notary bond?

Most applicants clear on the spot. Your bond can be ready the same day, often in minutes.

How much does a Alaska notary bond cost?

Notary bonds are a fixed price with no credit check. You pay a small fee for the whole term — not the full bond amount.

Diagram of how a surety bond works: the obligee requires the bond, the principal applies and signs an indemnity agreement, and the surety issues the bond; if the principal fails, the obligee files a claim, the surety investigates and may pay, and the principal reimburses the surety.
