Why do I need a surety bond for my Arizona Notary Public commission?

A surety bond is a three-way agreement between a Principal (the Notary Public), an Obligee (Arizona Secretary of State), and a surety company (the company financially backing the bond). The bond does not function like an insurance policy for the Principal; instead, it protects the Obligee and the Arizona public from any financial obligations that may arise from misconduct on behalf of the Notary Public. This bond is required for anyone applying or renewing an Arizona Notary Public commission, and must be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State before the commission will be approved.

This $5,000 bond is a guarantee on behalf of the Principal that they fully understand and agree to comply with all regulations pertaining to their Notary Public commission. In the event that there are any damages caused by misconduct or negligence (see Arizona Revised Statutes Title 41), the surety company will settle the payments via the bond, at which point the Principal must fully repay the surety company for all damages.

It is very important that the bonded Notary Public understand and comply with the guidelines set forth for their commission. If there is a violation of the agreement, a claim will be filed against the bond. Claims against your surety bond act as a mark against your "credit" in the bond market, and may complicate future bond applications. In addition to the claim negatively impacting future applications, your surety may revoke your current bond in the event of a claim. If your bond is revoked, your Notary Public commission will be invalid until you are able to file a new bond with the Secretary of State.

I was shopping for a surety bond for the first time and having trouble communicating with several different companies. When I contacted South Coast Surety they responded quickly and performed the transaction quick and easy. I might have been able to find a lower price, but their professionalism was worth a couple extra dollars.

We are opening up a Mental Health Residential Treatment Center and needed a Surety bond since we will be handling some clients cash resources. I reached out to South Coast Surety, they sent me an application, paid our premium and had our bond sent to us immediately. Everyone I spoke to and emailed was courteous, attentive and responded very quickly. We will most definitely continue to get all of our bond services from South Coast.

I was in need of obtaining my CA Insurance Bond. I was able to obtain my required Bond quote online within minutes. I approved the quote and requested the Bond to be issued. On the same day, I received the Evidence of Coverage. Could not ask for better pricing or better service. I highly recommend South Coast Surety to meet a wide range of Bonding needs.
