Kentucky Notary Bond

A Kentucky Notary Bond is a $1,000 surety bond required by the state for all commissioned notaries in Kentucky. This bond serves as a financial safeguard for the public, ensuring compensation for any losses incurred due to a notary's improper actions. The bond is not insurance for the notary but rather a protection for the public. It is required for the entire duration of the notary's 4-year commission and must be filed with the state to activate the notary's commission.

A Kentucky Notary Bond in the amount of $1,000 costs $150 and is valid for the entire 4-year term of your notary commission.
