What is a Louisiana notary bond?
A Louisiana notary bond is a three-party agreement in which a bonding (surety) company financially guarantees to the Louisiana Secretary of State that the Louisiana notary will perform their duties lawfully, ethically, and in accordance with Louisiana notary law. If a claim is made and approved, the surety company will pay the claim and seek reimbursement from the notary.
Why do I need a Louisiana notary bond?
To protect the public from financial loss caused by a notary’s negligence or misconduct, Louisiana law requires all first-time notary applicants and notaries renewing their commissions to maintain a five-year, $50,000 Louisiana notary bond for the duration of the notary’s commission term.
A Louisiana notary bond does not provide any financial protection to the Louisiana notary. It solely protects the public. For that reason, many Louisiana notaries choose to purchase a notary errors and omissions (E&O) insurance policy.
