Like Florida and Illinois, California notaries are required to purchase a $15,000 surety bond. This is what qualifies the notary commission.
We have to file an oath of office and an official bond at the county you reside in. Failure to do so will render your commission void. This has to be completed before your present commission expires.
This bond is for the protection of the public only and is only for notarizations. Nothing to do with loan signings. |
