General Information

BondAbility is an approved provider of Pennsylvania Notary Bonds. We issue the required $10,000 surety bond instantly for just $50, covering your full four-year notary commission term. No application or credit check is required.

Why Do I Need a Pennsylvania Notary Bond?

All newly appointed and reappointed notaries in Pennsylvania must file a $10,000 surety bond within 45 days of their appointment. This bond protects the public from errors or misconduct — not the notary. If your bond is not properly executed and recorded, your commission becomes null and void.

Processing Made Easy

Once you receive your bond and oath forms from the state (this is the document with the barcode), send a copy to us by email, fax, or upload it directly with your order for the fastest turnaround. Your bond will be emailed to you — no need to wait for shipping delays.

After receiving your bond, go to your local Recorder of Deeds office to take your oath and record your bond. This must be completed within 45 days of your appointment date.

Protect Yourself – Bundle with E&O Insurance

The required notary bond protects your customers — not you. If a claim is paid on your behalf, you are responsible for reimbursing the surety company. That’s why we recommend bundling with Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance for full protection.

  • No deductible
  • Covers defense costs
  • Protects against negligence and unintentional errors
  • Coverage up to $25,000
  • Affordable packages with no credit check

Example: A notary was sued for $11,500 after unknowingly notarizing forged signatures. E&O Insurance would have covered this from the first dollar.

FAQs

Does the notary bond protect me?

No. The bond protects the public. E&O Insurance protects you from personal liability.

How long is the notary bond valid?

The bond covers your full four-year notary commission term.

How quickly will I get my bond?

Your bond will be emailed the same or next business day after we receive your completed bond and oath form from the state.

Can I bundle E&O Insurance with my bond?

Yes. We highly recommend bundling to ensure you're personally protected from legal costs and financial liability.

Is E&O Insurance required?

No, but it is strongly encouraged. Without it, you're financially responsible if you're ever sued over a notarization.

Do I need to send you the state bond form?

Yes. Before we can issue your bond, you must send us the bond and oath form provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the one with the barcode). You can upload it with your order, email, or fax it for fastest service.
