If you need your Oklahoma notary bond quickly, you’re in the right place. BondAbility issues the bond without an application or credit check, and your $30 purchase includes both required coverage and added protection:

  • $10,000 Oklahoma Notary Public Surety Bond
  • $10,000 Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance

Important: This bond term runs concurrently with your notary commission. The principal must have received his or her commission prior to completion of the bond.

Why do I need an Oklahoma Notary Bond?

Oklahoma requires notaries to file a surety bond to help protect the public. If a notary’s negligence or failure to perform duties causes damages, the bond provides coverage to a third party (up to the bond amount).

Bond vs. E&O: The bond is for public protection. E&O insurance is commonly carried to help protect the notary from certain claims tied to unintentional mistakes (subject to the policy terms). With BondAbility, your $30 purchase includes both.
