What is a Wisconsin notary bond?
A Wisconsin notary bond is a three-party agreement in which a bonding (surety) company financially guarantees to the Wisconsin Secretary of State that the Wisconsin notary will perform their duties lawfully, ethically, and in accordance with Wisconsin notary law. If a claim is made and approved, the surety company will pay the claim and seek reimbursement from the notary.
Why do I need a Wisconsin notary bond?
To protect the public from financial loss caused by a notary’s negligence or misconduct, Wisconsin law requires all first-time notary applicants and notaries renewing their commissions to maintain a four-year, $500 Wisconsin notary bond for the duration of the notary’s commission term.
A Wisconsin notary bond does not provide any financial protection to the Wisconsin notary. It solely protects the public. For that reason, many Wisconsin notaries choose to purchase a notary errors and omissions (E&O) insurance policy.
