Description
This $110 5-year, $50,000 Louisiana notary public bond is issued from an A.M. Best A-rated surety and insurance company. The notary public must sign and file the notary bond with the Clerk of Court in the parish where the notary is commissioned. There are no refunds once a bond has been filed. Refunds may be granted if the bond is returned to our office.
The Louisiana notary bond protects the public from mistakes made by the notary. If you make an error that results in harm to a third party in connection with your duties as a notary, you may be liable up to the bond limit of $50,000. For this reason, many notaries purchase Notary Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance coverage. You may add E&O insurance by clicking the corresponding button.
On June 11, 2025, Governor Landry signed HB 259 into law. This law, which went into effect February 1, 2026, increases the required bond and personal surety amount for notaries from $10,000 to $50,000 and removes the option to file an errors and policy with their office.
