Oklahoma Notary Public Bond

The Oklahoma Notary Public Bond is a surety bond required by the State of Oklahoma for all individuals seeking to become commissioned notary publics in the state. This bond serves as a financial guarantee that the notary will perform their duties in accordance with Oklahoma notary laws and regulations.

All notary public applicants in Oklahoma must obtain this $10,000 surety bond as part of their commission requirements. The bond protects the State of Oklahoma and the general public from financial losses that may result from the notary's errors, omissions, negligence, or willful misconduct while performing notarial acts such as acknowledgments, jurats, and oath administrations.

The bond provides coverage in the amount of $10,000 and remains in effect for a 4-year term, which corresponds with the notary's commission period. The bond must be maintained continuously throughout the notary's term of office. When the commission expires, a new bond will be required if the notary seeks to renew their commission for another 4-year term.
