What this bond does
Utah’s ordinary commission bond and the increased security for remote certification serve different application stages. Choose the option for your intended authority and confirm the correct bond or rider.
- Who needs it
- Utah applicants and renewing notaries arranging an ordinary commission, and existing Utah notaries seeking remote certification through an approved vendor.
- Who it protects
- The surety bond protects those harmed by a notary’s covered failure to perform legal duties. E&O is separate insurance subject to its own policy terms, limits, and exclusions; do not substitute an insurance policy for required surety security.
Choose from 2 options
Each option is a separate record. Where a term, bond amount, premium, or E&O limit is known, it is listed; match it to what your requirement asks for.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Is my bond insurance for my own protection?
No, a notary bond is not insurance for the notary; it is protection for the public.
What happens if my bond is not signed?
If your bond is not signed, it will not be considered valid and your application will be returned.
How do I date my bond if I am reapplying?
If your old commission has not expired, put the expiration date, ensuring your commission dates do not overlap.
Is an ordinary $5,000 bond enough for Utah remote notarization?
The remote instructions require total security of $10,000. They allow a rider or a separate additional $5,000 bond; confirm which document the provider will issue.
Does the additional bond start a new commission term?
No. Utah says it is tied to the original commission date and both bonds renew with that commission.
Does buying the Utah remote notary option complete remote certification?
No. Utah's remote application also calls for a notarized remote oath, electronic seal and signature, and an approved vendor relationship. Complete that process as well as arranging the increased security.
