Questions about this bond
Can a notary public notarize their own signature?
No, a notary may not perform a notarial act for oneself, one’s spouse, or any party that may benefit either.
How long must the bond remain effective?
It must remain effective throughout the commission. Check that the bond's dates cover the full period when you review the issued document.
Does buying the bond complete my education requirements?
No. The surety bond and Indiana's education requirements are separate parts of commissioning. Follow the state's application instructions before beginning notarial duties.
